Event 15, $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout - Live Updates

Players begin with $1,500 in tournament chips. One player advances from each table of the first round to the second round. The number of players advancing from each second-round table to the final table will depend on the number of entries.

Round Two will begin 60 minutes after the conclusion of the final Round One table. Players will start Round Two with $15,000 in tournament chips, and chips will carry over from Round Two to the final table. The final table will begin from the point at which the earliest Round Two table concludes.

All levels up to the final table will last 60 minutes. Final table levels will be 90 minutes and offer breaks every two rounds. Players will be in the money when they advance from their first table. Play on the first day will last until the final table is set. Final table play will resume at 2 p.m. on June 18.

2004 champion Kathy Liebert, who was awarded $110,180 after defeating 240 of her fellow players, is back defending her title this year.
