Welcome to Day 1 of Event #82: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em
Welcome to Day 1 of Event #82: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold’em at the 2021 World Series of Poker. The poker world crowned Koray Aldemir as its new world champion yesterday, but there is still plenty of action remaining in the final week of the 2021 WSOP, starting with this first-time high roller event.
While the distinction of history’s largest buy-in still belongs to the $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop, the $250,000 Super High Roller is making its maiden voyage in a year when stars like Ali Imsirovic, Michael Addamo, and David Peters have garnered a lot of attention with strong results on the growing high roller circuit.
A prestigious field is expected to compete for what should be one of the largest prize pools in WSOP history, along with the chance of winning a WSOP gold bracelet against the best players in high-stakes poker.
Cards go in the air at 3 p.m. PT and Day 1 will play 10 one-hour levels with a 15-minute break after every three. Players will start with 1,500,000 chips, with blinds starting at 2,000/4,000/4,000. Late registration is available until the start of Day 2 when blinds will be 15,000/30,000/30,000.
Be sure to keep it here all week long for live coverage of the Super High Roller and other closing events from the PokerNews team at the 2021 WSOP.
