Allen Takes Back to Back Early Pots

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Danny "The Poker Beard" Allen limped from under the gun. An early position player raised to 800, Allen reraised to 2,100, getting the call.

On the {5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop, Allen continued for another 2,000, getting a quick call from his opponent.

The {5-Spades} turn was checked through before Allen fired for 4,500 on the {8-Clubs} river. His opponent thought for a moment, then folded. Before scooping the pot, Allen turned over his hand, showing {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, good for a set on the flop.

On the very next hand, the hijack led out for 500, getting a call from the small blind and Allen in the big blind.

On the {4-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, the hijack continued for 600. The small blind got out of the way before Allen put in the call.

The hijack fired another barrel on the {4-Hearts} turn, this time for 2,600. Allen made the call.

The {7-Diamonds} river was checked through. Allen turned over {j-}{4-}, good for trips on the turn, and the pot.

Welcome to Day 1 of the 2022 WSOP Event #27: $1,500 Shootout No-Limit Hold'em

The 2022 World Series of Poker in its new home at Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas will begin its one and only shootout event, Event #27: $1,500 Shootout No-Limit Hold'em this morning at 11 a.m. local time.

Last year's tournament saw 800 players enter the field, generating a prize pool of $1,068,000, with the top 80, or those who advanced past the first round, receiving a minimum cash of $5,459.

Of those 800 entrants, the last man standing was Gershon Distenfeld after he defeated Johan Schumacher in heads-up play at the final table. Distenfeld took home the first-place prize of $204,063, all of which he donated to various charities. Distenfeld is slated to return to defend his title this year and has once again pledged that any winnings will be donated to charitable causes.

The shootout format is such that players must win their table in each round to advance. Players will begin the day with 25,000 chips. Blinds will begin at 100-200 with a 200 big blind ante. Levels are scheduled for 40 minutes, with 20-minute breaks after every 3rd level. A 60-minute dinner break will be held after level 9, expected to be around 5:40 p.m. local time.

Late registration will close after 3 levels (around 1:20 p.m. local time) or once the cap of 1,000 players is hit. All stacks will be in play from the start of the day, meaning late-registering players will enter the tournament with less than a full starting stack.

Stay tuned for all of the action from Las Vegas as the PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor to cover all the action from start to finish.
