The starting stack is 150,000 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 July 15, where another ten levels will play out. The following day is when a champion will be crowned.
Last year’s event garnered a field of 112 entries generating a prize pool of $2,632,000. The winner was Josh Arieh who defeated Dan Heimiller heads-up to win $711,313 and his sixth WSOP bracelet.
Arieh, who won four of his six bracelets from 2021-2023, expressed his gratitude for life outside of poker and attributed that to his recent success.
"My life is so amazing outside of poker. I got my sh** straight, and my relationships with my daughters and with Rachel... everything is just great. It's definitely helped my career."
