Welcome to Day 1 of Event #29: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em
The first day of Event #29: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em gets underway in the Brasilia and Pavilion rooms at at 12 p.m. Vegas time. In 2013, Nikolaus Teichert defeated a 1,736-entry strong field and captured his first golden bracelet. The German is expected to try and defend his title after already cashing in the Seniors Championship (Event #17).
All players will begin with 7,500 in chips. They will be playing 11 levels of 60 minutes each; every two levels there will be a 20-minute break with a 90-minute dinner break following Level 6. Other players that we expect in today's field are EPT regular Kitty Kuo and pretty much all familiar faces from the circuit who are not returning for Day 2 of the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship.
Follow the action on PokerNews shortly to see all good and bad beats, dramatic eliminations, and key hands on the way to the crowning of another champion this upcoming Sunday.
