Event #26: $2,620 No-Limit Hold'em Marathon
Dia 1 Começado
Another day at the 50th Annual World Series of Poker and another tournament. Next up on the schedule is Event #26: $2,620 No-Limit Hold'em Marathon. The tournament will play down to a winner over the next six days and the first day will start today at noon local time.
The Marathon features 100-minute levels and a starting stack of 26,200 and the first level of the day is 100/100 without an ante. It will take a little over three hours of play to get to the antes and that will be in Level 3 where blinds will be 100/200 and a big blind ante of 200. The slow structure provides plenty of room for patience and creativity of play.
Last year's Marathon attracted a big field of 1,637 players and the slow structure produced a stacked final table with players like Anton Morgenstern, Martin Jacobson, and Bart Lybaert. Australia's Michael Addamo picked up his first bracelet last year and is now looking for number three after winning another bracelet on the other side of the pond at the WSOPE. Addamo picked up $653,581 for his win last year in the Marathon.
The Marathon will run for six levels today with a 15-minute break after every level. There will be a 75-minute dinner break after level four. Late registration will be open until the end of level eight, which is the second level of Day 2 (approx. 4:50 p.m. on June 11).
PokerNews will be on the tournament floor to provide live updates.

On a three-way pot, the flop showed when the players in the blinds checked, followed by Julien Sitbon in the cutoff.
The turn fell a and after a first checked, the big blind bet 400, only called by Sitbon. Both checked on the river and the big blind revealed for a pair of threes while Sitbon tabled for a pair of fives.
