Among other legendary names, Phil Hellmuth entered late on Day 1, and will be looking to build his stack. Daniel Negreanu seemed to turn his fortunes around from his unlucky 2022 on Day 1, winning three all ins, shouting ��2023 WSOP!�� each time.
Late registration will close with the announcement of ��Shuffle up and deal,�� which will surely add to the 58 players who remained after Day 1 and the over $4,000,000 prize pool. Play will commence with Level 9 at 5,000/10,000/10,000 blinds. Ten levels will be played on Day 2 with a dinner break after Level 14, expected to be around 6:30 p.m. local time.
