2015 World Series of Poker

The 2015 WSOP Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout kicked off around 12 p.m. local time Thursday with 1,000 entries creating 100 10-handed tables, the winners of which would advance to Day 2 Friday guaranteed a min-cash of $5,413.

Play wrapped up just after 1 a.m. Friday morning with the full 100 players advancing, looking to win a second table when play resumes at 1 p.m. Friday and book a spot at the final table. Up top sits a $283,546 first-place prize and a coveted WSOP bracelet.

Among those advancing were three-time WSOP bracelet winner Dominik Nitsche, 2008 WSOP November Niner Dennis Phillips, European Poker Tour Season 8 Grand Final champ Mohsin Charania, and 2014 PokerStars WCOOP Main Event winner Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz.

Remko Rinkema, Donnie Peters, and Jason Somerville discuss the latest news at the 2015 World Series of Poker, including a Colossus final table that features a pair of roommates and three players who were participating in a 90-person last longer. They also talk about Jason's peculiar online shopping strategy, which isn't very GTO.

Welcome to the 2015 World Series of Poker!

Today's noon event is Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout. Last year, Alex Bolotin took the title after topping a field of 948 entries and earning the $259,211 top prize. That win marked Boleti's first gold bracelet of his career, and he'll likely be returning to the field today to defend his title. There is a 2,000-player cap on this event, and each competitor will begin with 7,500 in chips. Day 1 will play until each starting table finds a winner, and then those winners will return for Day 2 tomorrow.
