Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2025 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today sees the start of Event #59: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em - Battle of the Ages here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. The unique $1,000 Battle of the Ages is one of summer's most intriguing new events.
The 59th event of the series sees players aged 50 and over enter on Day 1A on the morning of June 22, with Day 1B, later in the day, reserved for the under-50 crowd. Surviving players merge on Day 2 to fight it out for the bracelet, top prize, and bragging rights for their generation.
Players, no matter their age, will begin Day 1 with 20,000 chips and will see levels lasting 30 minutes.
The fields will combine on Day 2 at 2 p.m. local time on Monday, June 23 and will play to a winner. There will be 15-minute breaks every four levels and a 60-minute dinner break after 12 levels of play.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) has officially launched its new WSOP+ app for the 2025 series in Las Vegas, promising to dramatically improve the player experience by reducing wait times and streamlining event access.
Available now for iOS and Android, the WSOP+ app allows players to pre-register for live events, skip lengthy registration lines, and receive real-time updates about seat availability through a virtual queue and push notifications. The app also becomes a central hub for all WSOP essentials, including event schedules, structure sheets, chip counts, rules, daily results, prize payouts, and more.
"WSOP+ will further elevate the WSOP experience for all of our players," said Ty Stewart, CEO of the World Series of Poker. "Not only can our community now save time and effort by registering in advance for their favorite tournaments, but the app will also showcase WSOP content and all of the important event information that participants are eager to have at their fingertips!"
PokerNews' Brad Whitehouse captured a hand on Saturday that might end up being the rarest we'll see all summer at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). At the very least, the rarest chop pot.
Gus Hansen and Dzmitry Urbanovich battled for a hefty pot on Day 2 in Event #23: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship with 35 out of 127 players remaining. The pot ended in a chop, but it left future Poker Hall of Famer Nick Schulman in awe.
"I've never seen that before," Schulman, who has seen nearly everything at the poker table, was overheard saying as he glanced at the tabled cards. "Wow, that's an amazing one."
