Day 1 of Event #90: $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship Set to Begin at 2 PM
With just several days left of the 2023 World Series of Poker, there is still one championship event yet to be played �C the prestigious $10,000: 6-Handed No-Limit Hold��em Championship. Last year, Gregory Jensen overcame a stacked 394-player field to take down his first and only gold bracelet and the $824,649 first-place prize. We expect the field to be even larger this year, as has been the case in the majority of this year��s events.
The tournament is sure to attract some of the best No-Limit Hold'em players in the world and especially those who prefer the six-handed format, which generally equates to more hands being played and thus more action. Here's a look at some of the previous winners of the event:
