Blink and you might miss the action today when Event #76: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em begins at 3 p.m. PST.
Blinds will increase every 20 minutes in this fast structure. The starting stack of 60,000 chips will be worth 10 big blinds after just five hours of play. The plan for today is to whittle down the initial field to the five final players who will return tomorrow to play down to a champion.

In 2018, the first year this event was featured on the schedule, Elio Fox won his second WSOP bracelet over a stacked final table including Paul Volpe, Alex Foxen, and Joe Cada. The previous Super Turbo Bounty events at the 2021 WSOP were won by Michael Perrone and Karolis Sereika, with Pierre Calamusa making the final table of both events.
