Event #29: $100,000 High Roller Kicks Off Today at 12 PM
It's been a couple of weeks filled with high-stakes tournament action at the 2023 World Series of Poker and the stakes keep getting bigger and bigger. Today, the largest buy-in to date is set to take place at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas with Event #29: $100,000 High Roller getting underway.
In the 2022 edition of this event, a total of 62 entries were recorded which generated a total prize pool of just under $6,000,000. If this year's numbers have been any indication, there is a good chance that this event will see an increase in entries and thus the prize pool as well. Aleksejs Ponakovs came out on top last year, defeating Phil Ivey heads-up to capture his first WSOP gold bracelet and nearly $1.9 million.
Many of the world's biggest names in poker are expected to make their way inside the ropes to battle over the next few days in an attempt at poker glory. Bill Klein is coming off another runner-up finish in the $50,000 High Roller last night but is expected to take another shot today after some much-needed rest.
The action is slated to get underway at 12 noon PDT with each player given a starting stack of 600,000 chips. The blinds will start at 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 big blind ante and the levels will be 40 minutes in length throughout the event. There are just 12 levels scheduled for Day 1 with a 15-minute break after every three levels and no dinner break scheduled for today.
This is a single-reentry event and late registration will remain open until the start of Day 2. This event will be played over the course of three days, with Day 2 being played down to the final five players and the winner will be crowned on Day 3. Time clocks will be in play from the start with each player receiving six time banks at the start of Day 1, start of Day 2, and the final table of eight players.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the tournament floor to bring you all of the action along with many of the highlights throughout the next three days.

Jaffe Gets to Work
Livello 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
It didn’t take long for Jonathan Jaffe to engage in action.
Jaffe was a late arrival to his table. He exchanged pleasantries with his table-mates as he removed his backpack and placed his chips. He sat down in middle position of the hand. peeked down at his cards, and raised 6,000.
The action folded to two-time WSOP bracelet winner Espen Jorstad, who was in the big blind. Jorstad responded by reraising to 36,000. Jaffe called.
The dealer fanned 4♦A♦Q♦ on the board and Jorstad bet 15,000. Jaffe took a few moments to ponder the bet, then called.
The turn saw 10♠, which both players checked. The 6♦ showed up on the river, making a four-flushed board and both players checked.
Jorstad tabled Q♥J♥, while Jaffe showed A♣2♣ for a pair of aces and the win.
