Event #21: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em (Six Handed)
Dia 1 Iniciado
Welcome to Day 1 of Event #21: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em / Six Handed! Last year, this event attracted 924 participants, creating a prize pool of over $2.5 million. Simon Charette won the event, taking home a first-place prize of $567,624. We’ll have to wait a few hours until late registration
This is the third six-handed no-limit hold’em event at the 2013 World Series of Poker, and thus far it has the biggest buy-in. Later in the summer, however, players will contest the $25,000 six-handed event, a new addition to the WSOP schedule this year, and today’s $3,000 buy-in event will act as a prelude to that much anticipated tournament.
Event #21 will begin at 1 p.m. local time. Players will begin with 9,000 in chips and are scheduled to complete 10 levels of play. PokerNews.com be here all day bringing you live coverage straight from the Rio Las Vegas.

Not surprisingly for a six handed event, play is quite aggressive even in the tournament's early stages.
In a recent hand, a player raised pre-flop to 125, and Liv Boeree three-bet to 300. Both the small blind and the original raiser called. On the flop, action checked to Boeree, who continued for 600. The small blind folded, but her other opponent called, and the dealer turned the . Both players checked, and then check again when the river brought the . The original pre-flop raiser showed for a missed nut-flush draw, and Boeree showed . Her unimproved pair of threes was enough to win, and Boeree raked in the pot.
