Across 50 years of the World Series of Poker, more than 1,000 players have reached the pinnacle in the live tournament arenas in the Binion's Horseshoe and Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, becoming WSOP bracelet winners.
All of those previous winners now have a chance to meet in a unique event dedicated to the appreciation of their achievements at the series, the $1,500 Bracelet Winners Only No-Limit Hold'em event, running from July 10-13, 2019.
The rake-free tournament is restricted to past champions, promising a truly spectacular lineup of World Series legends at the tables. While the WSOP has awarded bracelets in dozens of various games, the winners' event will be played in the most popular one of them.
Players will start with 50,000 in chips and the levels will be 60 minutes long throughout the event. Day 1 starts today at 3 p.m. and the exclusive field will navigate through 10 levels on Day 1, starting at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. While many tournaments across the world have become increasingly filled with re-entry formats, this exclusive event will allow only one chance per player.
PokerNews will provide updates from start to finish so come back to follow the battles between high profile players, all of whom have already proved that they have what it takes to take down a World Series of Poker event and claim a bracelet.
