WSOP Glory Awaits in Event #43: $500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em
Anthony Koutsos had the dream of every player at the World Series of Poker come true.
The San Francisco real estate agent’s largest previous cash was $6,000. He had never cashed in a WSOP event. Then, at the 2021 WSOP, he won the $500 No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout, outlasting a massive field of 2,930 players to take home $167,272 and the prestigious gold bracelet.
A similar fate awaits one lucky player when Event #43: $500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em begins today at 11 a.m. local time. Another large field will gather in the Paris Ballroom, an eclectic mix of seasoned pros and amateurs taking their shot at WSOP glory, just like Koutsos did last year

Play on Day 1 will consist of 22 half-hour levels. There will be a 75-minute dinner break after Level 12, which should come around 5:40 p.m. Late registration is open through the end of the dinner break and since this is a freezeout, no reentries are allowed.
This is a two-day event, so action should be fast and furious. A starting stack of 25,000 will be worth only 10 big blinds after just six hours of play.
It is the perfect opportunity for a player to realize their dream, and PokerNews will be on hand to capture all the action until one champion is left standing.

Aldridge Loses One Early
Nível 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
A player in middle position opened to 700 and was called by a player in late position and Ken Aldridge out of the small blind.
Aldridge checked to the middle position player on a flop of 
and the initial raiser continued for 1,000. Both the late position player and Aldridge called to keep action three-handed headed to the turn.
Aldridge took the betting lead on the turn, betting out 1,300. That was enough to get the middle position player to fold but the player in late position was going nowhere and made the call.
The 
river did nothing to convince Aldridge to slow down as he fired off another bet, this time sizing down to 1,100. His opponent thought for a little while before making the call. Aldridge showed down 
for a pair but it was no good as the late position player flipped over 
for turned trips.
