Event #84: $1,500 The Closer No-Limit Hold'em
Welcome to Day 1a, the first of three starting flights, of Event #84: $1,500 The Closer No-Limit Hold’em. This tournament features a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool with payouts starting on Day 1.
In 2018, 2009 WSOP Main Event champion Joe Cada outlasted 3,119 entrants to take home the $612,886 in cash and his fourth WSOP gold bracelet. Cada jumped into the tournament immediately after being eliminated in fifth place from the Main Event Final Table.
Players taking their seats will start with 25,000 in chips, an increase over last year’s starting stack of 15,000 chips. Like last year, players are allowed unlimited re-entries through the close of registration. The schedule for Day 1a will consist of twenty levels of 30 minutes each, with a 20-minute break after every four levels of play. There will be a 75-minute dinner break after the twelfth level (approximately 5:40 p.m.) and registration will close at the end of the dinner break (approximately 6:55 p.m.). Those players lucky enough to find a bag at the end of play will return on Monday, July 15th at noon local time.

Play kicks off at 11 a.m. local time, and if the number of entrants from last year’s tournament and the big numbers that the No-Limit tournaments have put up all summer during the 2019 World Series are any indication, this event is going to be yet another huge one.
