The dealers have just finished their pre-tournament briefing and have taken their seats at the tables, ready to welcome players for Day 1b of the TonyBet Winter Festival Main Event!
Yesterday’s Day 1a flight saw 137 entries join the tournament, and today’s Day 1b should hit that number early and easily surpass it, as a lot more players are available to play on a Saturday.
This is a next-day re-entry event, which means that anyone who played yesterday – whether they qualified for Day 2 or not – may give it another go today. A player who has already qualified may wish to try to end with a larger stack (only the largest count from a starting flight continues to Day 2), or a player who couldn’t make it through yesterday may try again.
Considering the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool and the high number of online and live satellite winners in the field, it’s clear that there’s plenty of value for a player to try to make it to Day 2 multiple times!
As was the case yesterday, players will start with a 30K stack and blinds will be 45-minutes in length. Late registration is open to the end of the break following level 6, and there will be a dinner break (45 mins) following level 8.
Good luck today!
