Final Event of the 2024 WSOP Sees a Sprint to the Finish Line
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 #99: $1,000 Super Turbo No-Limit Hold'em here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This single day event gets underway at 10 a.m. local time with late registration open for ten levels (~2 p.m.). This event allows for one reentry. There will be 20-minute breaks every six levels or for color-ups. A 60-minute dinner break will take place at the end of Level 21 (~8:00 p.m.).
The starting stack is 20,000 chips, and play will continue until a winner is crowned.
Last year’s event had a field of 1,482 entries, generating a prize pool of $1,318,980. The winner was Paul Berger who defeated Yuri Dzivielevski heads-up to win $212,645 and his first WSOP bracelet.
When asked if the bracelet had any special meaning to Berger, he said the bracelet was very cool but that "the money is more important because I donate it, so the fact that I've got the biggest score of my life and it'll go to a good cause is very cool."
