Welcome everyone to Event 16: $1,500 Seven Card Stud!

Following the World Championship just a few days ago where Freddie Ellis captured the coveted bracelet and title of Stud champion - today is the day to see a new champion start to make their passage to the Event 16 bracelet.

350 runners are expected to take to the felt today to have their chance at being crowned a WSOP bracelet winner. A triple starting stack of 4,500 and a slow limit structure allowing for plenty of play will see only the best survive the expected tough field.

Play will be underway in a little under thirty minutes time, so make sure to catch all the live coverage with PokerNews as we update you on every capped street, double bet and wired pair!
