Poker's Elite Expected to Enter the $25K High Roller Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em

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 the start of Event #21: $25,000 High Roller Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. This event is scheduled to run for three days, with Day 1 shuffling up and dealing at 12 p.m. on June 6, with eight 60-minute levels planned. The 30-second shot clock will be in play from the start of this event.

Players begin with 150,000 chips and Level 1 blinds are 500/1,000 with 1,000 big blind ante. Late registration remains open until the end of the first level on Day 2 (about 2 p.m.).

This is only the second running of this event, as it was a new addition to the 2023 WSOP. Last year's event attracted 207 entrants, who created a $4,864,500 prize pool. Swiss star Alexandre Vuilleumier came out on top, defeating Chance Kornuth heads up to capture his first WSOP bracelet and a huge $1,215,864 top prize.
