Ante: 200
Blink and you might miss the action today when Event #76: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em begins at 3 p.m. PST.
Blinds will increase every 20 minutes in this fast structure. The starting stack of 60,000 chips will be worth 10 big blinds after just five hours of play. The plan for today is to whittle down the initial field to the five final players who will return tomorrow to play down to a champion.
The $10,000 buy-in ensures this event will feature a steady flux of high-profile players. In 2019, Brian Green outlasted 204 players to win this tournament, defeating Ali Imsirovic heads-up for $345,669. That final table also included Asher Conniff, Loren Klein, Daniel Negreanu, and Cary Katz.
In 2018, the first year this event was featured on the schedule, Elio Fox won his second WSOP bracelet over a stacked final table including Paul Volpe, Alex Foxen, and Joe Cada. The previous Super Turbo Bounty events at the 2021 WSOP were won by Michael Perrone and Karolis Sereika, with Pierre Calamusa making the final table of both events.
Past Champions

2019 | 204 | Brian Green | $345,669 | Ali Imsirovic | |
2018 | 243 | Elio Fox | $393,693 | Adam Adler |
Late registration is open for this event until the end of Level 12, which should come around 7:30 p.m. PST. There will be a 15-minute break every six levels.
PokerNews will be here the entire way providing live updates and chip counts as this star-studded field plays down to the final table.
