Welcome to the Inaugural Event #78: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em
The World Series of Poker is host to plenty of events with deep and rich history, with returning champions regularly attempting to defend their titles. The new home for the series at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas has seen many events with record-breaking field sizes and prize pools. Event #78: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em, however, will not be one of those, because it's all new!
One player has a chance to be the inaugural bracelet winner for this brand-new tournament, cementing their place in World Series of Poker history. This three-day event starts at 3:00 p.m. local time, and will allow for plenty of early, deep-stacked poker.
Players will have 35,000 chips to begin their journey to their own estimable bracelet, 350 big blinds to start the day. With 40-minute levels on Day 1 and 60-minute levels on Days 2 and 3, players will find plenty of maneuverability and time to build a stack throughout the tournament.
Registration is open through Level 9 (about 9:45 p.m.) and players who bust have the option of one reentry. They will play 15 full levels, with breaks after every three, before bagging and tagging their chips for the night.
Will we see another first-time bracelet winner find glory via this first-time event? Or will someone add to their World Series jewelry collection? Stay tuned right here to PokerNews to find out how this one plays out.
