The excitement continues to build at the 2023 World Series of Poker as players gear up for Event #42: the $800 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack. The tournament kicks off Sunday, June 18, at 10 a.m. local time for two days of action at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
Last year, Richard Alsup claimed the title, the bracelet, and $272,065, defeating a field of 2,812 runners. Will he defend his crown this year, or will a new champion emerge? If the trend continues, last year's field size will be eclipsed by a much larger crowd.
Players will start with a stack of 40,000 chips and play 30-minute levels, with one reentry possible, allowing players who bust to take another shot. Late registration will be open for 12 levels (until about 5 p.m.).
Throughout the day, there will be 20-minute breaks every four levels and a 75-minute dinner break at the end of Level 15, approximately 7 p.m. Players remaining at the end of Level 22 on Day 1 will return at 10:00 a.m. on Monday for Day 2. The tournament will continue on the second day until a winner has been found.
