The preliminary announcements have been made and players have taken their seats at the tables… and cards are now flying in this first starting flight in The $250 Frenzy.
The Friday afternoon flight is typically the smallest of the 6 starting flights in the tournament, but with a full 2 hours of late registration still available, there are already 70 players at the tables.
Play will continue today for 14 30-minute levels, following which the surviving players will bag up their chips to return for Day 2. Any player – whether he or she survives today or not – may play in one or more additional Day 1s – if a player qualifies for Day 2 more than once, only his or her largest stack will move forward in the event.
