2011 World Series Of Poker Event 8

The 8th event in the World Series of Poker is set to be a good one. This is the second no limit Texas Hold 'em event, but this time the buy-in is significantly lower than the first no limit Hold 'em event. Instead of requiring a $5,000 buy in, this tournament only requires a $1,000 buy in, making it attractive to more players. This should be the biggest event early on in the series. This event is expected to be so large that it carries two first days, with a Day 1A and a Day 2B. With the enormity of this tournament, the prize pool is expected to be huge.

On June 4th, this event will kick off. This is expected to be a five day event. Day 1A of the event begins on June 4th at noon, while Day 1B starts Sunday, June 5th - also at noon. The buy in of $1,000 is expected to attract a number of different players. The first $1,000 No Limit Hold 'em tournament in last year's World Series of Poker brought in over 4,000 players, bringing in a prize pool of almost $4,000,000. Expect this tournament to be one of the largest in the early leg of the World Series of Poker, and it should prove to be one of the most profitable in the whole event.

Event 8 Results - The $1,000 buy-in No Limit Hold 'em event brought out 4,178 players, which brought a prize pool of $3,760,200 to the event. This four day event paid out winnings to 423 players, with a minimum win of $1,880. Few professionals made it in the money, but Vitaly Lunkin, Eric Mizrachi, Alexander Kravchenko, Gavin Griffin, Kathy Liebert, and Ylon Schwartz had all made it through the tournament's final days. Battling through a field of 4,178 is never an easy task, but the final table had brought out nine of the most tenacious players in the WSOP. The top three were Jon Turner, Sadan Turker, and Sean Getzwiller had brought it down to the fire, but only Sean Getzwiller would walk home with a bracelet. Getzwiller won $611,185 for his efforts. This is the Californian's first bracelet, though he has cashed 15 times.
