Paul Volpe will face off with Keith Lehr for the bracelet
Welcome back to WSOP.com's ongoing coverage of the 2015 World Series of Poker. Today marks the conclusion of a unique event on the schedule: the $10,000 Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship. After a series of matches against poker's elite over the last two days, Paul Volpe and Keith Lehr have risen above the rest. The two competitors will return to the Amazon room today to go head-to-head for the gold bracelet and $334,430 in first-place prize money.
Both Volpe and Lehr won three matches on Tuesday and three matches on Wednesday in order to secure a spot in the finals. Volpe defeated players such as Stephen Chidwick, Barry Hutter, and Isidro Sifuentes to earn his spot in the finals. Lehr, on the other hand, battled through the likes of Jake Schindler, Valeriu Coca, and Dee Tiller to lock up his seat.
Each returning player is looking to earn his second WSOP bracelet. Volpe tasted glory just one year ago, defeating Daniel Negreanu heads up to win the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Championship. For Lehr, however, it has been a while. Lehr's bracelet win came back in 2003 when he took down a $3,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em event.
Each player will start with 3,840,000 in chips with blinds at 15,000/30,000. Blind levels will increase every 20 minutes until a champion is crowned.
Play kicks off at 1 p.m. local time, so be sure to stay tuned to WSOP.com for all of the action as this prestigious event reaches it's exciting conclusion!
