Norbert Szecsi winner of the last $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Event.
We're just minutes away from the start of Event #54: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em, which represents the last $1,000 no-limit event from the summer, not including Event #58: $1,111 Little One for One Drop No-Limit Hold'em.
We're also just hours away from Event #55: The $50,000 Poker Players' Championship so many players may be using this event as a warm up, or may not play at all. Either way, we're sure to see plenty of lower stakes players taking their shot here today in Event #54.
The last $1,000 no-limit hold'em event was won by Norbert Szecsi and he took home $345,037 for his victory. We may see Szecsi here today attempting to take a second shot at another title here today in Event #54. That event, like all other $1,000 no-limit hold'em events here at the World Series of Poker, lasted for three days and saw more than 2,000 entrants. Today we can expect to see similar numbers.
We're just minutes away from the "Shuffle up and deal," here in the Brasilia room. Just like the other $1,000 no-limit hold'em events, the players will begin with 3,000 in tournament chips and the blinds at 25/25. The players will play out 10 levels today and we may even see them make the money here on Day 1, but only time will tell. Make sure you stay here with us at PokerNews.com as we begin our journey to crowning a new World Series of Poker champion.
