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 #46: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.
Entrants must be at least 50 years of age to participate.
The first of two starting flights of this five-day event gets underway at 10 a.m. local time, with late registration open for eight levels. There will be 20-minute breaks every two levels, with a 75-minute dinner break at the end of Level 8 (~7:00 p.m.). The starting stack is 20,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play 11 60-minute levels.
Players are permitted one reentry per flight and the second starting flight will begin at 10 a.m. Wednesday. Traditional PokerNews coverage of this event will begin with Day 2
Day 2 resumes at 11 a.m. Thursday for the surviving players and will close after ten more levels of play. Day 3 follows the same structure, while Day 4 plays down to the final five. Day 5 is the finale, where a winner will be crowned.
Last year’s event was massively attended, attracting a field of 8,140 entries that generated a prize pool of $7,280,200.
At the PokerGO live-streamed final table, 54-year-old Canadian Lonnie Hallett defeated seven-time WSOP winner and Poker Hall of Famer Billy Baxter for $765,731 and his first WSOP bracelet.
“I just can’t believe it, such a huge field it's almost impossible to do, and somehow it happened. I’m grateful, can’t believe it, I’m so happy," Hallett told PokerNews. “You can make money, but you can’t buy a bracelet.”
