Day 1a of the 2022 WSOP Event #47: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship Kicks Off at 10 a.m.

The first day of the 2022 World Series of Poker Event #47: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship begins today at 10 a.m. local time at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas.

Last October, Robert McMillan overcame a field of 5,404 entries to claim the biggest win in his career for $561,060 and a WSOP gold bracelet. He defeated Robert Davis heads up with Daniel Stebbins finishing in third place to get to a podium filled with players from Arizona.

Every year, the turnout for this event is huge and with seats being assigned to tables spread out over the Paris and Bally's ballrooms, the expectation is that this year, things won't be any different. With 5,918 entries in 2018 and attendance records being broken, who can predict what this year will bring?

Eleven levels of 60-minutes each are scheduled on Day 1a with a 20-minute break after every two levels. A 75-minute dinner break is scheduled at the end of Level 8, (around 7 p.m.). Late registration will be possible until the end of the dinner break (around 8.15 p.m.).

Players must be at least 50 years of age and can reenter once per starting day. All players who enter will get 20,000 chips in their stack to use to their best abilities. Day 1b on Thursday will follow the exact same structure as Day 1a with all surviving players coming together for Day 2 on Friday, June 24 at 10 a.m. local time.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to bring you all the action to see who will be taking this down at the end of the road.

McMillan's Shove Takes it Down

Nível 1 : 100/100, 100 ante
Robert McMillan
Robert McMillan

The details of this hand were provided to PokerNews by defending champion Robert McMillan after the fact.

Before the start of the tournament, tournament directors invited McMillan on stage in Paris to say a few words to the field of competitors. After a playful "You're all playing for second place," and giving the directions to shuffle up and deal, McMillan returned to his seat.

He woke up with pocket kings on his first hand, and put in a raise. He got one caller, Glenn Taylor. The flop put two clubs on the board, and McMillan, with the {k-Clubs}, fired again, and Taylor made another call. The turn put a third club on the board. McMillan moved all in, this time, Taylor made the laydown. It was then revealed that Taylor had laid down the same hand that McMillan had, pocket kings, albeit without McMillan's flush draw.

The defending champ scooped the big early pot, helping his run at defending his title.

Schneider Doubles Up with Straight Flush over Nut Flush

Nível 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Tom Schneider
Tom Schneider

Action was picked up as Tom Schneider, in the cutoff, called the jam from early/middle position. There was already 24,000 in the pot and the flop had come {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The two had nearly identical stacks, with Schneider the player at risk by less than 1,000.

Tom Schneider: {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The {4-Spades} changed nothing, but the {7-Hearts} gave the opponent the nut flush, but gave Schneider the 9 high straight flush, good enough to bust the nut flush, and collect the double up.

Dykes Takes A Big One

Nível 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Peter Dykes
Peter Dykes

The under-the-gun player bet 2,500 and was raised by Peter Dykes in the cutoff for 8,000. The under-the-gun player called.

The {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop allowed Dykes to continue for 8,000 and was called by his opponent. The {a-Clubs} rolled over on the turn and Dykes fired the third barrel for 18,000. Once again his foe called.

The river brought the {2-Spades} and Dykes moved all in for 52,300. The under-the-gun player wasn't happy and was unsure what to do. He tried some speech play but Dykes sat resolutely not moving a muscle.

His opponent asked, "If I fold will you show one?" Dykes remained unmoved and the under-the-gun player folded.

The under-the-gun player kept badgering Dykes after the pot was awarded to him but Dykes remained silent until he confided to a PokerNews live reporter that he had pocket aces.

With 18,000 in the middle and a flop of {k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}, the middle position player checked to Christopher MacFarland on the button who bet 8,000. The middle position raised to 25,000 and MacFarland called.

The {j-Spades} landed on the turn and the middle position moved all in for 61,500, MacFarland called.

Middle Position: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Christopher MacFarland: {8-Spades}{6-Spades}

MacFarland turned a flush whilst the middle position had two pair. The {8-Clubs} river was no help to the middle position player and MacFarland scooped in a massive pot.

James Kennedy Leads the Way After Day 1a in Event #47: $1,000 Seniors Championship

Nível 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
James Kennedy

It was a busy day in Event $47: $1,000 Seniors Championship at the 2022 WSOP at Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas. A massive field of 5,121 players have entered in total already with 3,206 of them who have entered Day 1a’s starting flight, generating a prize pool of $4,516,750. These numbers nearly match the combined totals from last year’s event, which saw 5,404 entries and a prize pool of $4,809,560. With another starting flight still to come, this year’s event will no doubt smash last year’s totals.

Those fortunate enough to bag chips at the conclusion of play will return for Day 2 on Friday, June 24th at 10 a.m. local time, at which point they will play another 11 one-hour levels, as the seniors try to build their stacks in pursuit of the gold WSOP bracelet, which will be given out at the conclusion of Day 5, on Monday, June 27th.

Many notable names entered today’s field. Women in Poker Hall of Famer Allyn Shulman bagged one of the biggest stacks of the night (350,000), thanks in part to a double knockout on the last hand of the night. Fellow Women in Poker Hall of Famer Kathy Liebert (225,000) also had quite a large stack at the end of the day, as did Kevin Song (350,000).

American James Kennedy finished the night as the big stack, with 452,000. Kennedy will use this stack in pursuit of his first WSOP bracelet, although he has cashed in many WSOP events. Earlier in this series, he finished 739th in the $600 Deepstack, for a cash of $960. He placed 78th and 59th in 2021’s Super Senior and Senior events, for cashes of $3,233 and $9,626 respectively.

The 2004 Main Event Champion Greg Raymer failed to bag at the end of the night, but told PokerNews that he intends to come back tomorrow. Raymer saw the early parts of an epic comeback before his elimination, as he was at one point down to a single 100 chip, before running his stack up to nearly 30,000. Other notables who failed to bag included Perry Friedman, Humberto Brenes, Todd Witteles, Bruno Lopes, and Antonin Teisseire.

Stay tuned to PokerNews for full live coverage of this and all other events at the 2022 World Series of Poker at Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas.
