State of Play

[user80015]

Level 1

WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel has just gone through the rules for this event to all the players.

Players begin with a 4,500-chip starting bank and will play ten 60-minute levels with a dinner break after six levels.

This unique format of tournament poker means that players will ante every hand, and to come into the pot the minimum will be whatever the smallest denomination chip of the tournament currently is — in this case 25, and in later levels today, 100.

Unlike other tournaments where throwing in an oversized chip is usually the minimum preflop, if an oversized chip is used preflop in this tournament it is treated as a bring-in of that very amount.

Time to Ante Up!

[user80015]

Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and the 2014 World Series of Poker for Event #47: $1,500 Ante-Only No-Limit Hold'em!
