2022 WSOP $100,000 High Roller Bounty Debuts Today
It hasn’t taken long for the launch of an exciting new event at the 2022 World Series of Poker, as the opening day sees the debut of Event #2: $100,000 High Roller Bounty No-Limit Hold’em.
The event is certain to bring out the elite of poker’s high-roller community to fire this event in hopes of winning their first bracelet of the summer along with a few $25,000 bounties along the way for each player they eliminate.
Cards will be in the air at 3 pm local time in the Paris Ballroom.
The three-day event will play 8-handed and players will begin the day with 600,000 in chips at blinds of 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 big blind ante. They’ll play twelve 40-minute levels with 15-minute breaks after every three levels.
Registration will remain open until the start of Day 2. At that point, players would potentially start with 15 big blinds.
Players earning bounties on the opening day will be able to redeem them after 8 pm local time.
This year’s WSOP will have no shortage of high roller No-Limit Hold’em events through the summer, with no less than seven $25,000+ events, combining for a total of $600,000 in buy-ins, beginning with today’s debut. This is without even mentioning the $50,000 and $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha high rollers and the $50,000 Poker Players Championship.
