Time for the Seniors to Take the Spotlight at the 2024 WSOP

Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.

Today sees the start of Event #46: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.

Entrants must be at least 50 years of age to participate.

The first of two starting flights of this five-day event gets underway at 10 a.m. local time, with late registration open for eight levels. There will be 20-minute breaks every two levels, with a 75-minute dinner break at the end of Level 8 (~7:00 p.m.). The starting stack is 20,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play 11 60-minute levels.

Players are permitted one reentry per flight and the second starting flight will begin at 10 a.m. Wednesday. Traditional PokerNews coverage of this event will begin with Day 2

Day 2 resumes at 11 a.m. Thursday for the surviving players and will close after ten more levels of play. Day 3 follows the same structure, while Day 4 plays down to the final five. Day 5 is the finale, where a winner will be crowned.

Last year’s event was massively attended, attracting a field of 8,140 entries that generated a prize pool of $7,280,200.

At the PokerGO live-streamed final table, 54-year-old Canadian Lonnie Hallett defeated seven-time WSOP winner and Poker Hall of Famer Billy Baxter for $765,731 and his first WSOP bracelet.

“I just can’t believe it, such a huge field it's almost impossible to do, and somehow it happened. I’m grateful, can’t believe it, I’m so happy," Hallett told PokerNews. “You can make money, but you can’t buy a bracelet.”
