Event #64: $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold'em
Dia 1c Iniciado
Welcome to Day 1c, the third of four starting flights, of Event 64: $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold’em. It's one of the more unique tournaments on the World Series schedule, and it’s all about the eights. In addition to the $888 buy-in, the winner will receive $888,888 in prize money and tables are played eight-handed.
In 2018, Galen Hall outlasted 8,597 entrants to take home the $888,888 in cash, the second largest of his tournament career, and his first WSOP gold bracelet.
Players taking their seats will start with 40,000 in chips, a substantial increase over last year’s starting stack of 8,000 chips and are allowed unlimited re-entries through the close of registration. The schedule for Day 1c will consist of 19 levels at 30 minutes each, with a 20-minute break after every four levels of play. Registration will close at approximately 5:55 p.m. and those players lucky enough to find a bag at the end of play will return on Monday, July 1st at 12 noon local time and join the 209 players that have already moved on to Day 2.

The under-the-gun player raised it to 300 and was called by a middle-position player and Andrew Gay from his big blind.
After Gay checked the flop, the original raiser continued for 500, which got a fold from the player in middle position and a check-call from Gay. On the turn, Gay then led out for 1,000, which was enough to take down the pot and add a little more to his growing chipstack.
