Event #29 – $100,000 Guaranteed $400 No-Limit Hold’em

The first of two $100,000 guaranteed tournaments on the schedule was held from June 20-23. The $400 buy-in no-limit hold’em event drew a field of 777 entries across its two starting flights, smashing the guarantee to build a final prize pool of $271,950.

While 78 players walked away with a cash, only could leave as the champion. That player was Robyn Alvis. She earned $47,228 and a seat to the 2024 PokerStars North American Poker Tour $5,300 buy-in main event that is slated for Nov. 5-10 right here at Resorts World Las Vegas.

Alvis also earned 365 Card Player Player of the Year points for this latest win.

This was only the third cash on Alvis’ tournament resume, but was already her second title. She took down a $200 Ladies teams event at the Nevada State Ladies Poker Championship this spring.

The top five finishers all earned five-figure paydays in this event. The runner-up asked to remain anonymous.
