The Turbo hasn’t even been running for an hour yet, but players are already building some big pots. Ami Alibay got very unlucky on his first hand of the day, played against Matthew Wilkins. We didn’t really see what the action was before the last community card came out.

Board:

On the river, Wilkins pushes all-in and Alibay, with a boat, has no other choice but to call.

Alibay:

Unfortunately for him, the river gave Wilkins a higher full house!

Wilkins:

Alibay decided to give it another try by re-entering the Turbo.

The tournament has started less than 30 minutes ago and the screen is already showing 200 entries including 5 re-entries and it keeps going up. Late registration and re-entries are permitted until the end of the break following level 10.

Welcome to Day 1B of the MILLIONS Turbo

2018/05/01 - 11:02 by

Today is the second of two starting days in Event #5 in the MILLIONS North America – the MILLIONS Turbo. As is the case with all MILLIONS events, players start with 1,000,000 tournament chips, but in the Turbo, blind levels are just 30 minutes long. This means that the tournament will play through 18 levels on Day 1, and it also adds up to an extended late-registration period – you can enter or re-enter the event until the end of the break following level 10.

Yesterday there were 387 entries in the event, a number we expect will take a significant jump today, as usual for a multi-starting-day event at Playground. Remember that even if you played and booked a stack to Day 2 yesterday, you are permitted to take another shot today – the tournament is best-stack forward to Day 2. Any additional stacks that are not used will simply be removed from the tournament as players continue with their larger stack.

Players who wish to gamble a little – or a lot – will also be happy to know that there will be $110 Flip n’ Go and $110 + $10 Sit ‘n Go tournaments running throughout the late registration period! You can play your way in for no more than you’d pay to join a regular daily tourney!

Good luck to everyone today! Action gets underway at the stroke of Noon in the Tournament Tent.
