Welcome to Event #88 $1,000 Super Turbo No Limit Hold'em, which begins at 11 a.m. local time inside Bally's and Paris, Las Vegas.

With the 2022 World Series of Poker nearing its conclusion, just a few events remain where players can achieve their hopes and dreams of WSOP glory.

In 2021, it was Michael McCauley who secured a bracelet late on in the series, after he took down last year's super turbo tournament. He collected the $161,384 up top and his maiden piece of WSOP hardware after being the last player standing from the 1,025-player field.

The plan today is to play until a winner is crowned. Players begin the day with a 20,000 starting stack and will need to use that to navigate the 20-minute levels. Should a player lose all their chips, they're permitted one reentry in the late registration period.

Players have 12 levels of late legistration, which should close aroind 3:40 p.m. There will also be a 20-minute break every six levels and the dinner break is scheduled for 8 p.m., which marks the end of Level 21.

As always, stick with PokerNews to keep up with all the action from the 2022 WSOP.
