Welcome to Day 1a of Event #85: $1,500 The Closer No-Limit Hold'em
With the 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event final table beginning today, it marks that the inaugural series at Bally's and Paris, Las Vegas is coming to its conclusion.

The Closer has two starting flights, with Day 1b getting underway tomorrow Saturday, July 16. The fields from Day 1a and Day 1b will then merge on Sunday, July 17 and will play down to a winner.
Last year's iteration of the event saw 1,903 players enter the field and generated a prize pool of $2,540,505. Team Winamax pro Leo Margets came out victorious after defeating Bulgaria's Alex Kulev in heads-up play.
She took home $376,850 for her efforts, and the first WSOP bracelet of her career. Other notables making a deep run included Chris Moorman (8th - $44,740) and Kenny Haellert (13th - $22,310).
Players will sit down with 50,000 in chips in their starting stacks. Blinds will start at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. Levels will last 30 minutes a piece, with a 20-minute break scheduled after every fourth level.
There will be a 75-minute dinner break after Level 12, expected to be around 6:40 p.m. local time. Players can rebuy once per starting flight, with late registration closing at the end of the dinner break, (approx. 7:55 p.m. PDT).
