Day 2 of Event #46: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed Begins at 2 p.m.
Welcome to the 2022 World Series of Poker live from Bally's and Paris Las Vegas. Starting at 2 p.m. local time is Day 2 of one of the most prolific events on the summer calendar, Event #46: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed.
An impressive 850 players took to the tables yesterday to play 10 levels, with just 277 returning for a chance of winning that beautiful gold bracelet. There is still the option to late register until the start of play, so the number of entries and players remaining will increase. The prize pool and payouts will be determined shortly after play begins and registration closes.
Another ten 60-minute levels are on tap for today, with 15 minute breaks after every two and a one-hour dinner break at about 8:30 p.m. They'll resume play with Level 11 and blinds of 1,000/2,500 and a 2,500 big blind ante. At the end of Level 20, remaining players will bag and tag their chips for Day 3.
