Welcome to Day 1a of the 2021 WSOP Main Event

will_shill

It's been 841 days since Hossein Ensan was crowned 2019 WSOP Main Event champion, the last time the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event was held entirely in person. He topped an 8,569-player field — the second largest in history — to win $10,000,000.

Since then, we've seen Stoyan Madanzhiev triumph in the 2020 WSOP Online Main Event, and Damian Salas take down the hybrid live-online 2020 WSOP Main Event. But today will see the return of the all-live WSOP Main Event.

Whether you're an amateur or a poker professional, the buy-in is $10,000 and everyone playing in this year's Main Event will be looking to add their name to the list of WSOP Main Event champions, immortalizing themselves in poker history.

Players will play five 120-minute levels on Day 1a. There will be a 20-minute break after Levels 1, 2 and 4, with a 75-minute dinner break after Level 3. Surviving players can expect to bag up at approximately 11:15 p.m.

This year saw the number of starting flights increase to four, with two more flights subsequently added following the relaxation of US travel restrictions for European travellers.

Here is a look at the breakdown of Day 1 flights from 2019, and the number of entries. In addition, 98 players entered on Day 2ab, and 344 players entered on Day 2c.

Day	Entries	Survivors
1a	1,334	962
1b	1,914	1,421
1c	4,879	3,664

Who knows how big this year's WSOP Main Event is going to be. As always, the PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor bringing you all the action, drama and excitement as it happens from the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.

The 2021 WSOP So Far

will_shill

Nobody knew what to expect when World Series of Poker officials announced poker’s longest-running series was returning to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino after a one-year hiatus. Vaccination rules, having to wear masks, and travel restrictions into the United States cast shadows of doubt over how the 2021 WSOP would progress, but those doubts are all but forgotten thanks to what has been an incredible festival thus far.

It is time for the eagerly anticipated Event #67: $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event World Championship, the WSOP tournament that every poker player dreams of winning. But before those famous words of "shuffle up and deal" are muttered on Day 1a of the 2021 WSOP Main Event, let us take a look back at the series’ story so far.

Every WSOP has a "Year of the" attached to it; it is something that naturally happens each series. The 2021 is most definitely the Year of the Multiple Bracelet winners, with no less than two dozen players adding some more poker gold to their collection.

Jeremy Ausmus started the trend when he took down Event #3: $1,000 COVID-19 Relief No-Limit Hold’em Charity Event for his second bracelet. Since then, such luminaries as Connor Drinan, Martin Zamani, Ari Engel, Yuval Bronshtein, and John Monnette have all secured a coveted gold bracelet.

As have the likes of Anthony Zinno – he’s actually won two bracelets this fall, as has Kevin Gerhart – Ryan Leng, Chance Kornuth, David "Bakes" Baker, and the legendary figure that is Phil Hellmuth.

Poker evolves, the WSOP adapts, but Hellmuth is always Hellmuth. The self-proclaimed Poker Brat has been racking up cashes and final tables in non-hold’em event; six cashes, five of which are final table appearances.

Hellmuth finished sixth in the $25,000 H.O.R.S.E, cashed in the $1,500 Dealer’s Choice, before finishing fifth in the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship and fourth in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud. Then came the big one: Hellmuth reeled in his 16th WSOP bracelet by winning the $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball event. Mr 16 Bracelets almost won his 17th piece of poker jewlery a few days later, finished second to Adam Friedman in the $10,000 Dealer’s Choice Championship; Friedman is one of those two dozen grinders who added to their personal bracelet haul.

Of course, Hellmuth has also been Hellmuth, hitting the headlines for expletive-filled rants, and taking to social media to air his views on the Player of the Year race. Don’t you just love him?

Hellmuth is, of course, a former WSOP Main Event champion, who is 100% guaranteed to buy into this year’s "Big Dance." As are all the players mentioned in this post, but who else will the PokerNews Live Reporting team provide updates about? Will Phil Ivey finally turn out for a 2021 WSOP event? Will Doyle Brunson grace us with his presence again? There are so many questions floating around, and all will be answered over the next few days.

Hold onto your hats, the Main Event is here and it is going to be incredible.
