Event #2: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Super Turbo Bounty
Dia 1 Começado
Welcome back to the 50th annual World Series of Poker in Las Vegas and Event #2: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty, now a two-day event compared to last year when the one-day event was brand-new to the schedule. The second of 89 bracelets events this summer is the first event that is open for all poker players to enter who can cough up the $10,000 buy-in to take their seats at one of the 523 tables which have been placed in the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.
At noon local time, the dealers will be instructed to shuffle up and deal, the buzz among the players who will take their seats early as this means the summer has really started for most people in the poker world. Elio Fox took the tournament down in 2018 for $393,693 when he defeated a 243-strong star-studded field and collected his second WSOP gold bracelet. The final table featured players like Paul Volpe, Alex Foxen, David Eldridge, Taylor Black, and Joe Cada.
Cada continued his amazing run by winning two more bracelets to make it four in total and finished in 5th place in the Main Event for $2,150,000 while Fox finished in 2nd place behind Nick Petrangelo in the $100,000 NLHE High Roller for $1,798,658 and finished in ninth place in the $50,000 NLHE High Roller which featured a big blind ante as one of the few events last year.
Players will get a slightly larger starting stack of 60,000 in chips and play 20-minute levels throughout the whole event. The freezeout tournament will have twelve levels of late registration which should be around 4:40 PM local time. For each player that eliminates an opponent, they will receive a bounty worth $3,000 which can be redeemed after 8:30 PM today. A big blind ante will be in play with 20-minute breaks following every 6 levels and a 75-minute dinner break after Level 16 which is at approximately 6 PM.
Play will continue until there are six players left who will return at noon on Thursday, May 30. The final day of this event will be airing on CBS All Access and PokerGO as this event is simulcast on both platforms with equal access for the subscribers of those platforms at 1 PM local time.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand once again to provide you will all the updates straight from the Rio from the first card dealt until the final bracelet has been awarded. So make sure to follow the updates right here throughout the summer while action kicks off at noon today.
