The 2022 World Series of Poker continues today with Event #6: $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship. The unique bracket-style three-day event is capped at 64 players and is expected to attract many of the biggest and best in the game. The draw will take place before the first matches are played at 3 p.m. local time.
Players will begin Round 1 with 150,000 in chips and the 20-minute levels will start at 300/600. Registration closes prior to the first draw or when it sells out at 64 entries. There will be two rounds played each day until a champion is crowned on the third and final day.
Last year, Jason Koon snagged his maiden bracelet in this event as he skillfully navigated his way through six matches to ultimately defeat Gabor Szabo and claim the title.
