Day 1a of the 2022 WSOP Event #47: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship Kicks Off at 10 a.m.
The first day of the 2022 World Series of Poker Event #47: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship begins today at 10 a.m. local time at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas.
Last October, Robert McMillan overcame a field of 5,404 entries to claim the biggest win in his career for $561,060 and a WSOP gold bracelet. He defeated Robert Davis heads up with Daniel Stebbins finishing in third place to get to a podium filled with players from Arizona.
Every year, the turnout for this event is huge and with seats being assigned to tables spread out over the Paris and Bally's ballrooms, the expectation is that this year, things won't be any different. With 5,918 entries in 2018 and attendance records being broken, who can predict what this year will bring?
Eleven levels of 60-minutes each are scheduled on Day 1a with a 20-minute break after every two levels. A 75-minute dinner break is scheduled at the end of Level 8, (around 7 p.m.). Late registration will be possible until the end of the dinner break (around 8.15 p.m.).
Players must be at least 50 years of age and can reenter once per starting day. All players who enter will get 20,000 chips in their stack to use to their best abilities. Day 1b on Thursday will follow the exact same structure as Day 1a with all surviving players coming together for Day 2 on Friday, June 24 at 10 a.m. local time.
