Big Fields, Big Names Go Bracelet Hunting in Event #26
The third week of the 45th annual World Series of Poker, now celebrating 10 years at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino, has begun and today sees Event #26: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em get underway shortly.
This marks the second full-ring, $1,500 buy-in no-limit hold'em event of the 2014 WSOP (outside of the Millionaire Maker), with a field of 2,086 taking part in the first one, Event #19, won by Ted Gillis of Houston, Texas.
We are expecting another huge field today as more and more players arrive in Vegas and those who haven’t yet cashed will no doubt be jumping in, too, trying to put that right. We are expecting a strong showing from the well-known pros as well as those desperate to burst on to the scene and write their names into the history books of poker.
Cards are in the air at 12 noon for 11 levels of play today. Come back then as the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will bring you all the action over the next three days as we find out together who the next bracelet winner will be.
