It's a 10 a.m. Start for the $600 Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack Grinders
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2025 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
You need to be at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas bright and early to catch the start of Event #16: $600 Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack (8-Handed) because Day 1 starts at 10 a.m. local time. Day 1 players sit down armed with a 30,000 starting stack and if they run out of those, may reenter twice before registration closes at the end of Level 12, which will be around 5:00 p.m. local time.
Blinds increase every 30 minutes from start to finish, including on the second day's play. The plan for Day 1 is to complete 22 levels with a 20-minute break every four levels and a 75-minute dinner break after Level 16 at around 7:00 p.m. local time.
Day 2 starts at 11 a.m. Wednesday and continues until a champion is crowned. While there are 15-minute breaks every four levels, there are currently no plans for a dinner break.
At the 2024 WSOP, 2,402 entrants created a $1,225,020 prize pool. Alex Manzano claimed the largest slice of that pie, $161,846, after the Chilean defeated Robert Gill heads up. Manzano spoke to PokerNews shortly after capturing his first WSOP bracelet.
"This was my first tournament when I started playing 20 years ago. Since I started playing professionally, I've won several different series, but this was the special one that I always wanted. I couldn't play it professionally many years ago, so winning it now is something beautiful."
