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 #7: $1,500 Dealer's Choice (6-Handed) here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.
This three-day event gets underway at 2 p.m. local time with late registration open for 9 levels. There will be 15-minute breaks every three levels, with no dinner break scheduled on Day 1.
The starting stack is 25,000 chips with the plan for Day 1 to play 15 levels. Day 2 resumes at 1 p.m. where levels increase to 60 minutes.
Last year's event saw 456 players generate a prize pool of $608,760. The winner was Chad Eveslage who defeated Andrew Kelsall heads-up to win $131,879 to win his second WSOP bracelet — and first of two in 2023!
"The mixed atmosphere is much, much more laid back. We were joking around heads up," he told PokerNews. "It's nice, you know ... I imagine it never gets old winning a World Series of Poker bracelet."

Big O
Timothy Warren opened to 400 from under the gun and received calls from a player in the cutoff, Scott Seiver on the button and a player in the big blind.
The flop came Q?10?8?. The big blind checked, Warren fired a 1,600 continuation bet only for the cutoff to raise to 3,200. Seiver and the big blind got out of the way while Warren made the call.
Both remaining players checked the A? turn leading to the 4? river. Warren check-called a 3,000 bet from his opponent.
The cutoff tabled Q?10?5?A?4? for two pair. Warren showed down A?J?9?5?3? for a straight and a low to scoop the pot.
