Dia 1 Começado
Welcome to Event #59: $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em, which will take place today at 10 a.m. in the white section at Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas.
A great warm-up for the main event, last year’s contest attracted 1,359 entrants and created a total prize pool of $3,628,530, with the eventual winner capturing $598,173 and the coveted gold bracelet.
It was a star-studded affair in 2022, with the likes of Maria Ho, Daniel Negreanu, and Justin Bonomo all contributing to the prize pool, as well as former main event winners Koray Aldemir, Hossein Ensan, and Phil Hellmuth, with Hellmuth being denied his 17th bracelet in heads-up play to eventual champ and now two-time bracelet winner, David Jackson.
Jackson earned his first WSOP bracelet after taking down Event #25: $777 LUCKY SEVENS as part of the 2021 GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events. Jackson made it through a field of 2,014 entries to win the bracelet and $194,178.
