Event #49: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em
Dia 1 Iniciado
We're set for the noon kickoff of another 2014 World Series of Poker bracelet event with today's Event #49: $5.000 No-Limit Hold'em.
Last year, 784 players entered the prestigious event, and Manchester's Matt Perrins topped them all to take home the first-place prize of $792,275. He defeated a tough final table that included Seth Berger (finished third), Antonio Buonanno (fourth), Matt Berkey (fifth), and Joe Serock (eighth).
The plan for today is to play 10 levels, each lasting one hour. The players will receive 20-minute breaks after every two levels, and a dinner break after Level 6. Everyone will start with a hefty stack of 15,000, so expect things to start off at a relatively tame pace and pick up as the day goes on. Stay tuned to PokerNews as we bring you all of the relevant live updates.
Nível: 1
Blinds: 50/75
Ante:
Event #49 is underway.
Two of last year's November Nine are among the familiar faces in the Blue section of Brasilia: Marc McLaughlin who finished sixth, and Jay Farber who finished runner-up to Ryan Riess.

Following a flop, Mukul Pahuja check-called a bet of 2,200 after there was already over 4,000 in the middle. He was in the small blind against an opponent on the button, and both players checked the turn. Two more checks followed the river, and Pahuja showed , while his opponent had mitigated losses with .
The WPT Player of the Year is certainly one to keep an eye on even in a field this stacked.

Olivier Busquet is already down to 2,100, and from the looks of the stacks at his table, it appears he sent most of that over to Sam Stein. Stein, known as "KingKobeMVP" online, is coming off a recent runner-up finish in the Event #40: $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship where he earned $207,347.
