Dia 1 Iniciado
Welcome to Day 1 coverage of Event #65 $3,000 Freezeout No Limit Hold'em which will be taking place in the black section of the Paris Ballroom.
For players who have had a difficult summer so far this event could be a vital bankroll boost on the heels of the Main Event. Players start with 40,000 chips, but this is a freezeout, so there will be no second chances.
Defending champion Harvey Mathews is expected to be amongst the field today, but there is no confirmation if he will be dressed as a 1980's WWF Superstar.
Mathews outlasted 720 players and defeated Gabriel Andrade heads-up to win $371,914, the biggest recorded cash of his career and the coveted WSOP Gold Bracelet.
Cards will be in the air at 3 p.m. local time with 15 40-minute levels with a 15-minute break after every three levels. Late registration is available until the end of level nine which will be around 10.55 p.m. local time.
