Welcome to WSOP [Online] $500 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack Tournament
The World Series of Poker Main Event kicks off today, with Day 1a already underway, it's an exciting time to be in Las Vegas. Players will have another opportunity at a bracelet in this online event, the $500 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack. This is the 7th instance of an online bracelet event this summer.
Play will start at 3:30 p.m local pacific time and will play all the way down to a winner. With two re-entries available on a $500 entry, there will be plenty of opportunity for players to put themselves in great positions to capture a WSOP bracelet. If $500 is too for some players to buy-in, many have taken advantage of satellites, that will be running right up until the start of the event.
There are 15-minute levels, with players starting their tournament on a 30,000 chip stack. Standard online tournament breaks, 55 minutes past the hour. There is also 4 hours (240 minutes) of late registration, where players can hop back in after busting in that time too, if they choose. Players will start with 1 minute 30 seconds on their time banks, with a time bank reset every 4 levels.
Probably Taiwan's most prolific player Pete Chen won a $400 version of this event at least year's Series, taking down $82,559 for his win. Players can expect a 1st place prize of over that amount, with the level of players entering this years WSOP and the small buy-in increase.
