Event #27: $1,500 Shootout No-Limit Hold'em
Day 1 Started
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.
Cards are in the air for Day 1 of Event #27: $1,500 Shootout No-Limit Hold'em. So far, 797 seats have been sold with the field capped at 1,000 players or 100 ten-handed tables.

A player raised to 1,000 from middle position. Action folded to Eugene Katchalov on the button who three-bet to 3,000. The blinds got out of the way and the initial raiser made the call to send the two players heads-up to the flop.
The middle position player checked on the flop and Katchalov continued for 4,000. After lengthy consideration, his opponent called.
On the turn the middle position player checked for a second time and again faced a bet, this time a heftier 6,000, from Katchalov. The player from middle position did eventually make the call.
The river paired the board and action once more was checked to Katchalov, who did not pause for long before announcing all in. His opponent wasted little time before folding, sending a sizable pot Katchalov's way.
