Today at 12:00pm will mark the beginning of the 2nd of two Day 1 starting flights in Event #1, the MILLIONS Open. Day 1A was a huge success with over 580 entries having taken a seat in the tournament, and there’s no reason to believe that today’s flight should be any smaller – in fact, if history is any guide, today’s flight will be at least that size – if not larger!
Play yesterday continued through 12 40-minute levels, with late registration and re-entries permitted though the first 9 levels, and the plan for today is identical. If there are any changes, it will be in the registration patterns of players, who may rely less on late registration than on Day 1A. A total of 130 players were seated as alternates yesterday, and although we constantly strive to seat everyone as quickly as possible, a short delay was unavoidable in the middle part of yesterday’s flight.
There should be some big-name players joining the field today as players who were eliminated from the High Roller yesterday will certainly take a shot at what is certain to be a very meaty prize pool for a $1,100 event! So don’t be surprised if you look around your table and see a (poker-world) household name seated across from you today!
Players who played but did not qualify – or even players who did make Day 2 – are welcome to take another shot today. This is a best-stack forward, meaning that a player may qualify for Day 2 more than once – but will only take their big stack forward to Day 2.
Good luck to everyone on the felts today!
