Final No-Limit Hold'em High Roller Kicks Off at 2 PM
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 #92: $50,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This three-day event gets underway at 2 p.m. local time, with late registration open for 13 levels. This event allows for one reentry. There will be 15-minute breaks every three levels.
The starting stack is 300,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play 12 40-minute levels. For the surviving players or those looking to take advantage of late registration, Day 2 begins at 1 p.m. on July 13 and ends when the final five players are determined. Day 3 is when a champion will be crowned.
Last year’s event attracted 176 entries, generating a prize pool of $8,404,000. The winner was rising star Alex Kulev who defeated Gergely Kulcsar heads-up to win $2,087,073 and his first WSOP bracelet.
With this score, Kulev rose to number one on the all-time Bulgaria money list.
“It feels good, but it doesn’t take away from the other players high on that list. Ognyan Dimov and Dimitar Danchev have helped me a lot in my career and I don’t like to rank them in any way, it’s just an honor to be there.”
