Event #13: $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em Begins at 11 a.m.
There won't be any second chances when Day 1 of the $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em event begins at 11 a.m. PT today. Players will begin the tournament with a starting stack 40,000 and only get one shot at winning a World Series of Poker bracelet.
This is a brand-new event on the 2021 World Series of Poker schedule and the second of 12 No-Limit Hold'em freezeout tournaments.
There was a $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em event held in 2019, which was won by France's Ivan Deyra for $380,090. That tournament attracted 671 entrants which created a prize pool of $1,811,700 and featured final table appearances from both Patrick Leonard and Andras Nemeth.
The plan for today is to play 17 40-minute levels, with a 20-minute break taking place after every three levels. There will be a 75-minute dinner break at the conclusion of Level 9 and late registration closes once players return, which should be around 6:55 p.m. tonight.
As always, the PokerNews team will be on hand to provide live updates and chip counts throughout the tournament.
