$800 No-Limit Hold’em Deepstack Begins Today
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2025 World Series of Poker, bringing you live updates from every bracelet event.
Today marks the start of Day 1 of Event #95: $800 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack, a tournament that regularly attracts 3,500 or more players to Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.
This event kicks off at 10 a.m. local time with entrants starting their quest for glory armed with 40,000 chips. Should they bust during the first 12 levels, players can reenter once and take another bite at the cherry. Late registration and reentry is possible until the start of Level 13, at about 5 p.m.
Levels only last 30 minutes and the plan is to complete 22 of them on Day 1. Players will head on a 20-minute break every four levels, then enjoy a 75-minute dinner break after Level 16 (around 7 p.m. local time).
The surviving players return to the fray at 11 a.m. local time on Monday, July 14, to conclude the tournament. Again, there are 15-minute breaks every four levels, with a dinner break to be decided.
When this event ran at the 2024 WSOP, it saw 4,278 players create a $3,011,712 prize pool and a top prize of $342,511. That princely sum found its way to Israel's Timur Margolin, who captured the third bracelet of his career. Family man Margolin was quick to thank his supportive wife for enabling him to travel the world and play poker.
"I wanna thank my wife and kids for being so supportive of my decision to travel and play poker," Margolin told PokerNews. "To live a family life and grind tournaments is not an easy lifestyle to manage. If it wasn't for my wife's support, I wouldn't be playing the Series in the first place."
