Welcome to the Opening Day of Event #68: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em
Day 1 of Event #68: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em starts up at 11 a.m. sharp for the start of yet another shot at a World Series of Poker bracelet!
Players begin with 15,000 chips and will battle it out for 10 60-minute levels. As usual, there will be a 20-minute break every two levels with a scheduled 90-minute dinner break after the sixth level of the day at approximately 5:40 p.m.
Late registration will close before the start of Level 9 at approximately 9:30 p.m.
The defending champion in this event is Andrew Lichtenberger who pocketed $569,158 and a gold bracelet for his win last year. We will definitely keep a close eye on him in the field and see if he can be the second player this summer to win the same event in back-to-back years.
