Event #79: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em
Dia 1 Iniciado
The Main Event may be getting most of the attention, but there is still plenty of other No-Limit Hold'em tournament action taking place at the WSOP. One of those tournaments, Event 79: $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em, starts today at 3 p.m. local time and is scheduled as a four-day event.
In 2018, Diogo Veiga outlasted 1,029 entrants to take home the $522,715 top prize, the second largest of his tournament career, and his first WSOP gold bracelet. Veiga was also the first-ever champion in this event, which was called Event #54: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Big Blind Ante when it made its debut at the 2018 WSOP.
Players taking their seats today will start with 20,000 in chips, a moderate increase over last year’s starting stack of 15,000 chips. The schedule for Day 1 consists of 10 levels of 60 minutes each, with a 15-minute break after every two levels of play and there is no dinner break on Day 1. This tournament also features a freezeout format, so registration is open through the end of Level 8 (approximately 12 a.m. local time). Those players lucky enough to find a bag at the end of play will return on Wednesday, July 10th at 2 p.m. local time.

There was a little under 1,000 in the pot and the board read and Aladin Reskallah saw the player in the small blind check to him in the big blind. Reskallah bet 600 and that was enough to take the pot down.
Faraz Jaka has entered the tournament and he is seated at Reskallah's table and Juha Helppi sat down at another table.

Action picked up on the board reading and about 2,000 in the middle in a headsup pot.
Neil Blumenfield bet 800 and Pedro Madeira raised it to 2,800, which sent Blumenfield into the tank for about a minute before he folded.

Norman Macdonald stood at the rail of the freeze-out tournament and his seat card was picked up by someone from the tournament staff. Macdonald was one of the first players eliminated from the tournament.
''I told myself I'm going to play aggressive today. Once you start you can't stop'' Macdonald said after his elimination not even an hour in the first level of the tournament.
