Event #7: $1,500 Limit Hold'em Starts at 2 p.m.
Event #7: $1,500 Limit Hold'em begins today at 2:00 p.m. local time inside the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.
The three-day event will begin play with a starting stack of 25,000, with fifteen 40-minute levels and a fifteen-minute break every three levels. The first level will be 100-200 blinds and 200-400 limits. Late registration will be open for the first nine levels, and is expected to end at approximately 8:45 p.m. local time.
Last year Michael Moncek won the event, adding his first bracelet to three WSOP Circuit Rings, and $145,856 to his $235,000 lifetime earnings. Remarkably, it was his first time playing limit hold ��em as he bested a field of 522, including bracelet winner Yueqi Zhu and 2015 WSOP Main Event winner Joe McKeehen on his way to the title.
��It feels awesome, especially in a game that I��ve never played before,�� Moncek said following his win. ��I��m going to have to learn to play it now.�� It shows that at the World Series of Poker, anything can happen, and anyone can make their dreams of winning a bracelet come true.
Previous winners include Yuval Bronshtein, David ��ODB�� Baker, and Robert Nehorayan.
