Event #60: $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold'em 8-Handed
Jour 1d a débuté
The last of four starting flights for Event #60: $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold'em 8-Handed at the 2017 World Series of Poker begins Sunday at 4 p.m. local time.
Last year, Hung Le triumphed over a field of 6,761 entries to win $888,888 and his first gold bracelet. This year, there were a combined total of 3,170 entries in the first two starting flights and 2,072 in Sunday morning's Flight C for a grand total of 5,242 runners thus far, so it's entirely possible that this year's field size could eclipse last year's. Several players have already spun up huge stacks and, as of this writing, Seville Hale (713,000), Jamie Rosen (589,000), Marius Pertea (514,000), Jason Wheeler (491,000), and Ray Qartomy (444,000) are at the very top.
Players begin this event with 8,000 chips and each level will last 30 minutes. A one-hour dinner break is scheduled to take place after the end of Level 6 at approximately 7:20 p.m. and the field will play a total of 18 levels on Day 1 before bagging chips for the night. There will be a break every four levels with a 20-minute break after Level 4 and 15-minute breaks after Levels 10 and 14.
