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 #59: $1,000 Super Seniors No-Limit Hold'em here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This four-day event gets underway at 10 a.m. local time, with late registration open for eight levels. There will be 20-minute breaks every two levels, with a 75-minute dinner break at the end of Level 6 (~4:40 p.m.). One reentry is permitted in this event.
The starting stack is 20,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play ten 60-minute levels. For the surviving players, Day 2 resumes at 11 a.m. Tuesday and closes after ten more levels. Day 3 follows the same structure, stopping when five players remain, before a winner is crowned on Day 4.
Last year’s event saw a field of 3,121 entries, generating a prize pool of $2,777,690. The winner was Klaus Ilk who defeated Ronald Lane heads up to win $371,603 and his first WSOP bracelet.
After the tournament, Ilk spoke to PokerNews and was asked what it meant to be only Austria’s seventh bracelet winner. – “More than I could possibly say. My main aim was to climb the ladder and win more money, so I am not sure if I am awake or asleep!”
