This is a four-day event, with Day 1 starting at 2:00 p.m. local time. Late registration remains open until the end of the 12th level, approximately 3:15 p.m. local time on Day 2. The plan is to play 10 levels, each spanning 60 minutes, with a 15-minute break every two levels levels.
Day 1 survivors return to their seats at 1:00 p.m. local time on June 8 and play another ten levels. Day 3 is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. local time on June 9, but Day 4 details are to be confirmed.
Australia's Hassan Kamel is the reigning champion. Kamel only had a handful of cashes before taking down this event in 2023, but he became a WSOP champion and recipient of a career-best $598,613 for his troubles.
This event regularly attracts the big guns, as you can see from past champions. Over the past few years, players such as Eli Elezra, Josh Arieh, Nick Schulman, and Phil Galfond have each claimed the title of champion. Expect another all-star cast in 2024.
