Brand New $3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship Hits the WSOP

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 #89: $3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship No-Limit Hold'em here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, a brand new event at the WSOP.

Day 1a of this four-day event, which features two starting flights, gets underway at 10 a.m. local time, with late registration open for 11 levels. This event allows for one reentry per flight and Day 2 registration. There will be 20-minute breaks every two levels, with a 60-minute dinner break at the end of Level 8 (~7:00 p.m.). Day 1b will duplicate Day 1a, beginning at 10 a.m. Friday, July 12.

The starting stack is 40,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play ten 60-minute levels. For the surviving players, Day 2 resumes at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, where another ten levels will play out. Day 3 follows the same structure as Day 2, with Day 4 playing down to a winner.
