Welcome to Day 1b of Event #37: $1,500 Millionaire Maker No-Limit Hold'em
The second and final starting flight of the annual millionaire-maker event will begin at 10 a.m. local time today at the 2022 World Series of Poker in its new home at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas
Last year's event attracted a field of 5,330 entrants, who generated a prize pool of $7,110,210. Last year's event saw Daniel Lazrus defeat Darryl Ronconi heads-up to capture the $1,000,000 prize and his second WSOP bracelet of that year. The eventual winner of this event is guaranteed a cash of at least $1,000,000 too.
This year's Day 1a saw 3,546 players enter the field, generating a prize pool of $4,757,940, already looking to crush last year's figures. After play ended on Day 1a, 738 survivors bagged up their chips for Day 2 on Sunday, June 19.
Day 1b will follow the same structure as Day 1a. There will be 11 levels of play, each lasting 60 minutes. There will be a 20-minute break after every second level, with a 75-minute dinner break after Level 8, expected to be around 7 p.m. local time.
Late registration will close when players return from dinner. Everyone will start with 25,000 chips, and blinds will begin at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante.
