Players Ready for Final Housewarming Flight; Biggest Flight of the Event Expected
Day 1d of Event #5: $500 The Housewarming No-Limit Hold'em has arrived at the 2022 World Series of Poker in its new home at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas.
This is the final starting flight of the tournament, with cards in the air at approximately 10 a.m. local time.
The three previous starting flights have seen the $5 million guarantee smashed already, with 12,883 entries from the first three flights. Today should be no different with many expecting the largest flight of the event so far, with players not wanting to miss out on a taste of the WSOP action.
Players start with 50,000 in chips, with blinds at 100/200/200. Day 1 levels are 30 minutes each, with a 20-minute break taking place after every fourth level. There will be no break after Level 10 today, with a 90-minute dinner break scheduled to begin after Level 12, which is approximately 6 p.m.
Late registration remains open for 10 levels (around 4 p.m.) and play will conclude after 22 levels or until 15% of the field is remaining, whichever is later. Players may re-enter once per flight.
As always keep it locked in with PokerNews, so you don't miss a hand of the 2022 WSOP at Bally's and Paris, Las Vegas.
