The chips will be flying this afternoon — July 7 — when Event #78: $1,500 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha begins at the 2023 World Series of Poker, hosted at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.
It is yet another tournament expected to exceed previous editions’ numbers, with its relatively low buy-in and the guarantee of fast action, due to the bounty format.
Last year’s victor was Pei Li who took home $190,219 for the win, as well as $500 for every knockout he claimed.

Li outlasted many famous names, including Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Daniel Zack, and Daniel Weinman. And plenty of poker A-listers are expected to participate this year as players are eliminated from the Main Event, which is running concurrently.
Cards will be in the air at 4 p.m. (not 2 p.m. as previously advertised). The day’s play will consist of 14 40-minute levels, with 15-minute breaks after every three levels.
Blinds start at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. There will be nine levels of late registration and up to two reentries are allowed. Players will receive a $500 bounty for every opponent they eliminate.
