Event #34: $525 Super Turbo Bounty No Limit Hold'em 6-Handed
Day: 1
Traditionally, World Series of Poker bracelet events have been of a slow-paced nature. Multi-day events were all but the rule up until a few years ago when the first one-day online events started gracing the schedule. In 2020, with the WSOP being fully played out online, one-day events have become the standard instead.
Still, even most events in the digital arena sport blind levels ranging between 15-20 minutes, with the occasional turbo event clocking in at 8 minutes. Tonight, Event #34: $525 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold'em lives up to its name and will be the fastest-ever paced bracelet event at just 4 minutes a level.
Players will start of with 25,000 in chips (125bb) and late registration will be open for 60 minutes. Up to two reentries are allowed if players run out of chips, with progressive bounties worth $125 each to start off with. Plenty of big names have already registered for this event, including Felipe Ramos, Fedor Holz, Pete "TurboPete" Chen, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Michael Soyza, and Danny Tang.
It'll be fast and furious tonight, so make sure to check back at 8 pm GMT for this super turbo event!
The following players all registered before the start. Note that this tournament offers bubble protection; if you're an early entrant and bubble the event, you'll get your buy-in refunded. In order to qualify for this feature, register before cards are in the air.
