Welcome back for another "bounty" event at the 2017 World Series of Poker as Event #50: $1,500 Bounty No-Limit Hold’em gets underway today.
The reigning champion in this event is Kristen Bicknell from Canada. Last year she took home her second WSOP gold bracelet and collected $290,768 for topping a field of 2,158 players. Bicknell has two WSOP gold bracelets, 10 WSOP cashes and $604,236 in WSOP earnings. She already has five cashes this summer and one final table, getting sixth in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed Championship.
This is a three-day event. Day 1 will begin at 11 a.m. with play scheduled to last 10 levels. The $1,500 buy-in will get players 7,500 chips to try to run up. Players will receive $500 from the prize pool for every player they eliminate. Bounties cannot be redeemed until 7:30 p.m. on Day 1. There will be a 20-minute break every two levels and a 90-minute dinner break after Level 6. Late registration is expected to close after 6 levels, around 7:10 p.m.
