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 Day 1c, the third of four starting flights, of Event #67: $300 Gladiators of Poker No-Limit Hold'em shuffle up and deal at 10 a.m. local time here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. This event carries a $3,000,000 guarantee on the prize pool.
Players sit down with starting stacks of 30,000 and hope to navigate their way through 22 levels or until only 15% of the field remains, whichever is later. Those levels last 30 minutes. There will be 20-minute breaks every four levels (or as needed for color-ups), and a 75-minute dinner break will follow Level 15 at about 6:30 p.m. Payouts will start on Day 1.
Registration remains open for each starting flight until the start of Level 12, at about 4:30 p.m. local time. Players are allowed two reentries per flight.
Day 1a took place on June 25 and amassed 3,614 entries. However, only 119 of them progressed to Day 2, which takes place on Sunday, June 29, starting at 11 a.m. Day 1b finished on Thursday and saw 147 of the 4,589 entrants progress to Day 2.
On Day 2, survivors of all four starting flights will be combined and play 17 levels of 40 minutes each. Dinner break will occur at around 5:40 p.m. at the conclusion of Level 31. PokerNews traditional coverage of this event starts on Day 2.
