As the curtain lowers on the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, Event #100: $1,000 Super Turbo No-Limit Hold’em is the final chance to win WSOP gold this summer. With blinds set to just 20 minutes throughout the tournament and only one reentry permitted per player, expect fast-paced action all the way. There will be bustouts galore, and a winner will be crowned on the day.

It kicks off at 10 a.m. local time, with players starting with 20,000 chips. Late registration is available until the end of Level 10 (about 2 p.m.). Traditional PokerNews coverage will begin after the close of registration.

Structure and Schedule

Event #100: $1,000 Super Turbo No-Limit Hold’em gets underway at 10 a.m. on July 15. Players start with 20,000 chips and play down to a winner on the same day. Aggressive blind levels of just 20 minutes will keep the action flowing, and with just one reentry available, expect players to be hitting the rail at a rapid pace.

There are 20-minute breaks every five or six levels, until play reaches the end of Level 21. Players will then get a 60-minute break, and then 10-minute breaks every six levels thereafter.

Past Champions & History

While it would be no surprise to see some of the biggest names in poker make a final appearance at the series, history suggests that lesser-known players tend to prevail.

Recent winners include Jaspal Brar, Paul Berger and Aneris Adomkevicius.

British player Mitchell Hynam outlasted a field of 1,935 to win last year's event. "I didn't really care at the start," Hynam admitted. "But once I got chips, I had to take it seriously." That approach paid off, earning him $237,924 for the win.
