Event #8: $5,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship
Day 1 Started
Welcome back to Pokernews for our continuing coverage of the 2021 GGpoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events. Today, we have the biggest buy-in event of the series so far, Event #8 $5,000 Six-Handed No Limit Hold'em Championship. With only six players allowed at each table, the action should be fast paced and exciting, so be sure you don't miss out on this one.
This is a two day event, with the first day kicking off shortly at 5 PM GMT. Registration will be available today until the end of Level 15, and all levels today will be 15 minutes long. Play will continue today for 32 levels, or until the final nine is reached, whichever comes first.
Players are starting with 50,000 in chips, or 250 big blinds to start, as the first level is 100/200. Some big names already registered for this event include Rainer Kempe, Bryan Paris, Kevin Martin, and Chris Moorman, but plenty more former bracelet winners and big names will surely be filing in throughout the registration period.
As always, Pokernews will be here until the end of the Day 1 action to bring you all of your updates, so don't go anywhere!
