2011 World Series Of Poker Event 6

A limit hold 'em tournament will be the 6th event in the 2011 WSOP. As the first of its kind in 2011 Series, this limit event should manage a moderate number of entrants. This will not be the biggest tournament, but we are expecting it to be fairly large. If you do decide to join in on this tournament, expect to find yourself with a fairly low number of competitors. The prize pool will definitely break six figures, though it may even manage to see a seven figure prize pool. Hundreds of people generally enter this smaller sort of event, so the competition will not be extraneously large.

The 6th event will kick off on June 3rd, beginning at 12 PM. It will run for three days and it will require a buy in of $1,500. Limit hold 'em is the game that will be played. Since some professional players enjoy limit hold 'em as their primary form of game, it is not unlikely that you will encounter a few of poker's bigwigs. Though you will not have to play through a field of poker professionals, there will probably be one or two that you will encounter. The 6th event is open for registration up until the start of the event, and the structure has already been announced.
