$10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship Kicks Off at 2 PM
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today sees the start of Event #42: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This three-day event gets underway at 2 p.m. local time with late registration open until the start of Day 2. There will be 15-minute breaks after every two hours of play. There is no reentry in this event.
The starting stack is 60,000 chips and the plan for Day 1 is to play nine levels. For the surviving players and any late registrants, Day 2 resumes at 1 p.m. Sunday and ends after eight more levels play out. Day 3 is when a winner will be crowned.
The tournament has escalating level durations. Levels 1 to 3 are 40 minutes, Levels 4 to 13 are 60 minutes, and from Level 14 onwards, they increase to 90 minutes.
Last summer's champion was Brian Yoon, who topped the 131-entry field to capture his fifth bracelet and $311,433 from the $1,209,000 prize pool. He defeated Dan Shak in heads-up play after an extra day was needed to end proceedings.
��Honestly, I don��t try to bracelet hunt or anything like that," Yoon told PokerNews. "I��m just trying to play the tournaments and enjoy playing the games. It feels great, obviously, to be the 33rd player to get number five, so I��ll take it and see what happens in the future.��
