Event #21: $1,500 Monster Stack is about to kick-off at the 2022 World Series of Poker at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas. A fan favorite tournament that will take place over five days, starting off with Day 1a at 10:00 a.m. local time, followed by Day 1b the same time tomorrow. Play will move on to Day 2, then Day 3, followed by a final Day 4, next Tuesday, June 14th.

This event typically draws thousands of entrants and the expectation this year is that it will smash last year's field of 3,520 entrants, which amassed a prize pool of $4,699,200. There is no doubt this year's attendance records will continue to be broken.

Michael Noori pocketed $610,347 from his $1,500 investment last time. Many poker fans and hopefuls will be aiming to take home what will probably be a bigger first-place prize this year. Action will kick off at the Paris Ballroom at the World Series of Poker 2022; this is one you don't want to miss.

Players will start with 50,000 chips and play 60-minute levels throughout the day and tournament. Eleven levels are on deck for today with a 20-minute break after every two levels and a 75-minute dinner break after Level 8, which is estimated to take place around 7 p.m. local time.

Late registration is possible for the first ten levels of the day and the break that follows and should close at approximately 10:35 p.m. if the cards go in the air on time. If players bust today, they may reenter on Day 1b.

Follow all the action from every day of the event on PokerNews, where you can find all the up-to-date coverage of the series.
