A Shiver of Sharks on the Hunt for $100,000 High Roller Glory
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today sees the start of Event #47: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This three-day event gets underway at 12 p.m. local time, with late registration open for 13 levels, which comes after the first level of Day 2. There will be 15-minute breaks every three levels and this tournament is played with a 30-second shot clock. Each player is permitted one reentry.
The starting stack is 600,000 chips with the plan for Day 1 to play 12 40-minute levels. For the surviving players or late entrants, Day 2 resumes at 12 p.m. Wednesday and closes after 15 more levels have played out. Day 3 is when a winner will be crowned.
Last summer, Jan Arends topped a star-studded final table and Cary Katz in heads-up play to capture his second bracelet and $2,576,729 winner's prize. Ninety-three entrants were recorded, creating the massive $8,997,750 prize pool. Can those figures be usurped this time around?
“Live [poker] is more pressure," Arends told PokerNews. "There’s people around, there’s cameras, live-streamed final table. There’s added pressure. The first bracelet was just an online tourney, and basically, all that people saw in the end was who won. So, this is very different. Way more special, I would say.”
