Dario Sammartino was spotted with over 100,000 in his stack and three bounties so far in the first five levels of play.
Sammartino is looking for his sixth cash of the 2022 WSOP after taking third in both the $100,000 High Roller and the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship. He also had a run to eighth place in the $50,000 High Roller.
Welcome to Event #62: $1,500 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em at the 2022 World Series of Poker. Cards go in the air at 1 p.m. local time for this one-day event.
A lot of familiar faces are expected to take their try in this lightning-paced bounty tournament. Lithuania’s Karolis Sereika is the returning champion after he outlasted a field of 1,441 runners to beat Pedro Padilha in heads up play and win $195,310 and his first WSOP bracelet.
The bounty portion of the prize pool will award $500 for each player that is eliminated. Players will start with 25,000 in chips and blinds will go up every 20 minutes. There will be a break every six levels and a dinner break is scheduled after Level 21. Late registration is available until the end of Level 12.
This event will take place in Bally's Grand Ballroom. Players with a Paris Black ticket for tables 70-111 should proceed to Bally's and add 330 to their table number.
