Welcome to Day 1a of Event #68: $1,000 Million Dollar Bounty No-Limit Hold'em
The 2022 World Series of Poker at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas is set to kick off Event #68: $1,000 Million Dollar Bounty No-Limit Hold'em today, as the first of four starting flights gets underway. Those who survive to bag chips at the end of the night will return to play on Tuesday, July 5th for Day 2, where all four starting flights will be combined.
While this particular event is new to the World Series of Poker in 2022, this is just one of a handful of bounty events held throughout the series, including Event #67: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold'em, which is slated to conclude later today.
The bounty pool is made out of $300 of each player's buy-in. Beginning on Day 2, when a player scores an elimination of an opponent, they will get to draw a random bounty prize, with the top bounty prize guaranteed to be a whopping $1,000,000. Players will not be able to redeem their bounties until after 4 p.m. on Day 2.
Cards are scheduled to be in the air at noon local time for this first starting flight. They will play 22 levels, each lasting for 30 minutes. A 20-minute break is scheduled for after every fourth level, with a 75-minute dinner break after Level 12, expected to be around 6:40 p.m. local time.
Players will start the day with a starting stack of 40,000 chips and may reenter once per flight. Late registration will close at the end of the dinner break, expected to be around 7:55 p.m.
