Welcome to Event #18: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em
Today we begin our second $1,000 buy-in (not including Event #3: No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry). Last week's 1K had a field of 1,837 and ended with a stacked final table. It was this event that included the instant classic heads up battle between Matt Waxman and Eric Baldwin. Waxman came out on top winning $305,952 and his first WSOP Bracelet.
Cards are in the air at noon and we will be playing eleven levels today in the Brasilia and Pavillion Rooms. As with all $1,000 buy-ins, we expect a large field of "weekend warriors" and professionals alike, looking to make it to the money and beyond. Keep it here, on PokerNews.com, for the latest updates.
