Of those entries, a total of 82 players will return to the felt at Bally's Ballroom Blue Section to play all the way down to the winner and dole out the first WSOP Bracelet of 2022 and the grand prize of $65,168 out of the $349,440 prize pool.
Of the 82 players who will be aiming for an even deeper run, the chip leader is Shaun Colquhoun who will be bringing a stack of 885,000 to the table today. He is closely followed by Arturo Jimenez who has 848,000 to make for the only two players who start the day with over 100 big blinds.
