Welcome to Day 1 of Event #49: $500 Turbo Deepstack No Limit Hold'em
The stage is set for a turbo blastfest here at Event #49: $500 Turbo Deepstack No Limit Hold'em. It's time for someone to win a bracelet in a hurry.
Players begin this event with 40,000 in their stacks and blinds going up every eight minutes. The structure starts at 100/200/25 and progresses from there, with eight-handed play throughout until a nine-handed final table. Players may reenter up to two times should they run dry on chips during the 100-minute late registration period.
While this event will run without a guarantee, there's already nearly 800 players registered and more than $350,000 in the prize pool. And it's safe to say, given the format and comparatively low buy-in as far bracelet shots go, plenty more bullets will be fired.
Among the players already registered are GGPoker's own Daniel Negreanu, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and Felipe Ramos, as well as Andrew Neeme, Lim Yo "BoxeR" Hwan, Manig Loeser, Adam Owen and recent bracelet winner Yuri Dzivielevski.
Virtual cards begin flying at 4 p.m. EDT. Keep an eye here throughout the next several hours as a turbo bracelet is claimed.
