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 Day 1b of Event #20: $300 Gladiators of Poker No-Limit Hold'em here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. This tournament comes with a $3,000,000 GTD prize pool.
June 6 saw Day 1a take place. It attracted a massive field of 3,792 entrants, but only 124 of those starters made it through to Day 2. Caleb Levesque finished the day as the chip leader with a colossal stack of 3,145,000 from a 30,000 starting stack. That impressive total will take some beating!
The second of four starting flights in this event starts at 10 a.m. Late registration is open for 11 levels, and players are allowed to reenter twice per flight. PokerNews' traditional coverage of this event starts on Day 2.
On each Day 1 flight, there will be 20-minute breaks after every four levels and a 75-minute dinner break after Level 15 (about 6:30 p.m.).
The starting stack is 30,000 chips and all Day 1s will play 22 30-minute levels or down to 15 percent of the field, whichever is later. Payouts start on Day 1 and for the surviving players, Day 2 resumes on Monday, June 10 at 11 a.m.
| Flight | Date | Starting Time | Late registration |
| Day 1A | Thursday, June 6 | 10 a.m. | 11 Levels (~4.30 p.m.) |
| Day 1B | Friday, June 7 | 10 a.m. | 11 Levels (~4.30 p.m.) |
| Day 1C | Saturday, June 8 | 10 a.m. | 11 Levels (~4.30 p.m.) |
| Day 1D | Sunday, June 9 | 10 a.m. | 11 Levels (~4.30 p.m.) |
Last year's event was the very first Gladiators of Poker event and saw a field of 23,088 players generate a prize pool of $3,603,162. The winner was Jason Simon who defeated Eric Trexler heads up to win a shade under $500,000.
"It was awesome," the first gladiator of poker said. "Having your friends here with you, cheering for you in the all ins, it definitely helps."

Find out everything you need to know about the PokerNews Deepstack Championship at the 2024 World Series of Poker.
In the 835th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by poker pros Shaun Deeb and Josh Arieh, who fill in as special co-hosts at Level 9 in Las Vegas where the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is happening now!
Hear about how Fortnite helped them form Team Lucky alongside Matt Glantz and reigning WSOP Main Event champ Daniel Weinman, Arieh's Poker Stake venture, and their thoughts on the Poker Hall of Fame, including Scott Seiver's chances of getting in after he recently won his fifth gold bracelet.
They also weigh in on two hot topics from this week in poker — whether or not phones, spurred by solver software debates, and excessive masking should be allowed at poker tables.
Speaking of gold, Malcolm Trayner captured his first WSOP bracelet in Event #5: $1,000 Mystery Millions for $1,000,000, while two other players scored million-dollar bounties. Unfortunately, their reactions were a bit subdued, much to the dismay of many in the poker community.
That said, two other players had boisterous celebrations when they pulled six-figure bounties. See them all in the latest episode as well as a winner interview with Trayner.
Finally, learn about other bracelet winners such as David Prociak and Simeon Spasov, get an update on the $25K Fantasy league, and see Jack Binion walk the halls of the Horseshoe and reminisce about 55 years of the WSOP!
Life Outside Poker w/ Connor Richards is a new podcast for PokerNews that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
For the fourth episode, Connor spoke with Texas poker vlogger Nick of OnTiltPoker during the WPT Voyage about getting into content creation, boxing as a teenager, pulling a $25,000 bounty for Ben Ludlow and winning Joey Ingram's WPT Voyage giveaway.
The interview features a cameo from poker vlogging godfather Andrew Neeme, who spoke about giving action on stream and his experience playing with On Tilt Nick. Plus, WPT Executive Tour Director Matt Savage wins an Omaha 8 event in the background.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with On Tilt Nick by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
It had been 14 years since anyone crossed the six-bracelet milestone, the last being Men "The Master" Nguyen. However, John Hennigan has now broken that streak, winning his seventh bracelet in Event #7: $1,500 Dealer's Choice at the 2024 World Series of Poker.
Hennigan defeated Robert Wells after a brief heads-up duel. With the win, Hennigan became only the ninth player to join the seven-bracelet club.
"It's Interesting to know, I guess, just like any other number" Hennigan commented when asked about the accolade. "Very happy to win the tournament. I mean to me, the best thing about winning the tournament is not losing it. Not getting second or knowing they're still playing and wandering around after you go broke. It's just very satisfying to come out on top."

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is making a move that will change the online poker game in the US with the launch of WSOP Online, a new platform that will bring players from three states together.
Poker players in Nevada and New Jersey are already competing against each other on WSOP.com, while those in Michigan have a separate single-state site. But that is changing with the trio of states being merged together on one online poker site ahead of the 2024 WSOP. Pennsylvania's WSOP site will not be part of the shared liquidity deal.
On top of the merger news, the WSOP has announced 30 online bracelet events this summer on the new WSOP Online.
Is there ever such a thing as a jinx in poker?
Martin Stausholm would be forgiven for thinking so after bubbling the debuting Event #16: $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold'em at the 2024 World Series of Poker.
Stausholm, a poker player from Denmark, was one of the 823 entries to make up the field. From Day 1, 239 out of 660 made it over the first hurdle, and they were joined by 163 more players who took advantage of the Day 2 registration.
With that, 402 players were in contention for the $660,284 first-place prize, but only 124 of them could make the money and take a share of the $3,785,800 prize pool.
At 125 remaining, Stausholm had a run-in with Alex Keating, which featured a premature announcement.
