Event #48: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Kicks Off at 12 p.m.
While the World Series of Poker has put together an incredible 2019 schedule with brand new events and all different types of tournaments, now it is time for just some good old no-limit hold'em. Event #48: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em kicks off today on the first of a four-day tournament that will see another WSOP gold bracelet awarded.
In 2018, Timur Margolin defeated a field of 1,248 players to capture his second WSOP bracelet and a payday of $507,274. Margolin already has three cashes this summer and will surely be back in a quest to add another to his resume. This tournament is sure to attract some of the bigger names around the game with a slightly higher buy-in and the only no-limit hold'em variation currently taking place on the schedule.
The action will get underway at 12 p.m. local time and each player will begin with 15,000 chips when they take to the felt. The blinds will start at 100/100 and the levels will be 60 minutes in length. There will be a 20-minute break after every two levels and a 75-minute dinner break after the sixth level today.
Late registration will remain open through the first eight levels until approximately 9:15 p.m. This tournament will not offer the option of any re-entries and will be the classic freezeout format. A total of 10 levels will be played today and the tournament will be split up into four days with the winner being crowned on Sunday, June 23.
