The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) kicked off its first five-figure buy-in event today with Event #6: $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship, held at the Horseshoe and Paris in Las Vegas.

Sixty-four players began their quest for a coveted WSOP gold bracelet at noon local time. By the end of Day 1, the first two rounds had concluded, narrowing the field to just 16 remaining competitors.

The Day 1 survivors are battling it out for the lion's share of the $1,504,000 prize pool, where the eventual champion will walk away with $500,000 and a shiny new bit of bling to adorn their wrist.

However, half of the remaining players will leave empty-handed as only the top eight players will make the money. Any player who makes it through Round 3 will lock up an $86,000 min-cash.

Defending Champion Exits in Round 1

Defending champ Chanracy Khun was among the 32 entrants to bow out at the first hurdle after Chance Kornuth's queens remained best against the former's ace-five suited.

There were a plethora of dream matches in the first bracket, with Stephen Chidwick vs. Jeremy Ausmus, John Smith vs. Dario Sammartino and Joao Vieira vs. Nik Airball being a trio of fascinating encounters.

Chidwick, Smith and Vieira overcame their opponents, but the same could not be said for the likes of $25K Fantasy Draft picks Shaun Deeb, Alex Foxen, and Chris Brewer, who were all sent for early showers.

More Big Names Fall in Second Round

Chance Kornuth

Serbia's Marko Grujic (not the former Liverpool FC midfielder) quickly advanced to Day 2. Grujic flopped top two while David Farber had middle pair and flush draw. The board ran out with bricks to allow Grujic plenty of rest time before tomorrow's restart.

Artur Martirosian picked up queens to leave Stephen Chidwick on fumes. The Englishman exited a few hands later when Martirosian continued to run hot and made a boat against the Chidwick's top pair.

There was another surprising upset when Joseph Miller downed Kornuth with a set of kings. Likewise, 2023 WSOP Player of the Year Ian Matakis was felled by Darius Samual.

Other players to make it through to Day 2 include Faraz Jaka, Patrick Kennedy and Matthew Wantman.

Plan for Day 2

Day 2 of the Heads-Up Championship resumes at 12 p.m. local time in the Gold section of Horseshoe.

Each player will return with 600,000 chips and will have plenty to play with as the blinds will be 1,000/2,500 when the restart whistle blows.

Tomorrow's action will end after two more rounds of play. Day 3, which takes place on Saturday, June 1, will host the semi-finals and grand finale and will be streamed on PokerGO.

Katz Finishes off Boivin

Level 23 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Thomas Boivin
Thomas Boivin

Cary Katz called the 16,000 on the button, and Thomas Boivin elected to check in the big blind.

The flop came out 7?7?4?.

Bovin checked over to Katz, who fired out 16,000, which Boivin then decided to raise up to 40,000, and Katz made the call.

The turn was the 2?. Bovin bet 30,000. Katz instantly announced "all in," and with no hesitation Boivin flicked in a chip to call for his last 60,000.

Thomas Boivin 7?6? All in
Cary Katz 8?7?

It was a cooler for Boivin, needing only a six to double up, however a two or four were chop outs to stay alive. The river brought the Q?, which officially eliminated Boivin, and Cary Katz advanced to round 3 tomorrow, where he will face Artur Martirosian.

Katz Chips Away at Boivin

Level 21 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Cary Katz
Cary Katz

Cary Katz and Thomas Boivin have been locking horns for the last three hours in what has appeared to be a very tense match-up.

Momentum has been on Katz's side for most of the duel and has 3:1 chip lead after dragging in another pot.

Boivin opened to 20,000 from the button and Katz defended the big blind.

Action checked through to showdown and Katz's Q?2? was best on the 10?10?2?Q?J? board.

Trips Over Trips Sends Steele onto Day 2

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Michael Steele
Michael Steele

On a board of 4?J?10?4?, Michael Steele checked to Anthony Zinno, who bet 25,000 on the button. Steele then announced he was all in, which was enough to put Zinno all in for approximately 200,000 total.

Zinno burned up multiple time extensions as he weighed his decision, but eventually put in a reluctant call and hands were revealed.

Anthony Zinno: 4?3? All in
Michael Steele: K?4?

"I almost folded," Zinno said upon seeing the bad news.

The 6? river changed nothing and Steele was awarded the knockout with his superior kicker.

Soverel Sends Keating Out

Level 20 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

The dealer explained Keating shoved for his last 60,000 on the button with 10x3x and was called by Soverel, who held Kx6x.

Ignacio Moron

Ignacio Moron was already all-in preflop on the button and at risk against Faraz Jaka for approximately 70,000 total.

Ignacio Moron: 8?8?
Faraz Jaka: A?Q?

It was a race, but the 5?4?J?10?J? runout kept Moron best with his pair and he doubled up to stay alive.
