Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today sees Day 1b of Event #20: $300 Gladiators of Poker No-Limit Hold'em here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. This tournament comes with a $3,000,000 GTD prize pool.
June 6 saw Day 1a take place. It attracted a massive field of 3,792 entrants, but only 124 of those starters made it through to Day 2. Caleb Levesque finished the day as the chip leader with a colossal stack of 3,145,000 from a 30,000 starting stack. That impressive total will take some beating!
The second of four starting flights in this event starts at 10 a.m. Late registration is open for 11 levels, and players are allowed to reenter twice per flight. PokerNews' traditional coverage of this event starts on Day 2.
On each Day 1 flight, there will be 20-minute breaks after every four levels and a 75-minute dinner break after Level 15 (about 6:30 p.m.).
The starting stack is 30,000 chips and all Day 1s will play 22 30-minute levels or down to 15 percent of the field, whichever is later. Payouts start on Day 1 and for the surviving players, Day 2 resumes on Monday, June 10 at 11 a.m.
| Flight | Date | Starting Time | Late registration |
| Day 1A | Thursday, June 6 | 10 a.m. | 11 Levels (~4.30 p.m.) |
| Day 1B | Friday, June 7 | 10 a.m. | 11 Levels (~4.30 p.m.) |
| Day 1C | Saturday, June 8 | 10 a.m. | 11 Levels (~4.30 p.m.) |
| Day 1D | Sunday, June 9 | 10 a.m. | 11 Levels (~4.30 p.m.) |
Last year's event was the very first Gladiators of Poker event and saw a field of 23,088 players generate a prize pool of $5,679,648. The winner was Jason Simon who defeated Eric Trexler heads up to win a shade under $500,000.
"It was awesome," the first gladiator of poker said. "Having your friends here with you, cheering for you in the all ins, it definitely helps."
