Day 1b of Event #47: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship at the 2022 World Series of Poker begins today at 10 a.m. local time at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas.
Robert McMillan is the reigning champion. He kicked the tournament off by offering some words of wisdom to the seniors after being introduced by tournament directors on the stage in Paris before flight A kicked off. McMillan overcame a field of 5,404 total entrants to capture the WSOP gold bracelet and a cash of $561,060, the largest of his career. McMillan failed to bag on Day 1a, but could still return today to make another run at defending his title.
A total of 5,121 players have already registered for entry, with 3,206 entering yesterday's starting flight. With late registration open through the end of the dinner break, this year's tournament should easily exceed last year's.
Play today will consist of eleven levels, each lasting 60 minutes. A 20-minute break is scheduled for every two levels, with a 75-minute dinner break after Level 8, expected to be around 7 p.m. local time, after which late registration will close.
Players must be at least 50 years of age to be eligible and can reenter a maximum of once per flight. Players will start the day with 20,000 in chips. Those who manage to survive to the end of Day 1b will join those 607 players who bagged on Day 1a for Day 2 on Friday, June 24 at 10 a.m. local time.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to bring you all the action to see who will be taking this down at the end of the road.
Seniors are in their seats and ready to play. Cards are in the air!

In a pot with 6,000 in the middle on a 
board, Greg Meredith, in the big blind, checked to the player in the cutoff who put in a very small bet of 400.
Meredith decided that wasn't even close to enough and fired for 7,000. The cutoff snap-called and said that he wanted the big bet.
However, to the cutoff's dismay, Meredith showed his 
big blind special to take down the massive pot.
Meredith relayed to PokerNews that we should have been at his table the hand before, as he won a small pot with a straight flush.
