Limit Hold'em Week Wraps Up with Event #26: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship at 3 p.m.
After packing in all three limit hold'em events into one week, the World Series of Poker at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas will wrap up with the prestigious Event #26: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship. The cards are slated to go in the air at 3 p.m. local time to kick off this three-day event.
The week started off with the $1,500 Limit Hold'em event that saw Michael Moncek capture his first WSOP bracelet. There is currently a $3,000 Limit Hold'em 6-max tournament heading into Day 2 with 93 players still in the hunt. The Championship Event will be the last of its format throughout the summer series in Las Vegas.
John Monnette will come in as the defending champion, besting a field of 92 entries in 2021 to take home $245,680 along with his fourth gold bracelet. Due to the higher buy-in level, you can expect the field to be littered with former bracelet winners and many household names.
A starting stack in this event will provide you with 60,000 chips and the blinds will begin at 300/500 while the limits will start at 500/1,000. Each level will be 60 minutes in length with a 15-minute break after every two levels on Day 1. Beginning on Day 2, the levels will increase to 90 minutes with a 10-minute break after each level.
There will be 10 levels scheduled for Day 1 with late registration open throughout until the start of Day 2. No dinner break is also scheduled for the opening day.
