In just minutes, Event #2 will move into the second half of the Day 1 flights available as the quest to qualify for Day 2 continues. So far there have been just 105 entries in the tournament, and while an event like this always picks up steam as the number of remaining Day 1s dwindles, 105 is a long way from meeting the guarantee, so the potential for an overlay has to be in mind.
That being said, the last time this tournament format was held, almost 65% of the players joined (or re-joined) on Day 1C or Day 1D. In any case, there’s still plenty of time to join this event and the $20,000 Guarantee ensures that the prize pool will be healthy!
The field so far is very strong. There are 11 players qualified for Day 2 through the first two starting flights, and the list includes players like Jason Mottershead, Bob T, and Jason Conforti, to name just 3 of the very experienced and talented players that have booked their passage to the money in the event.
Play gets underway soon with unlimited entries/re-entries available today through to the end of the break following level 4 (i.e., until 12:30pm). Play will continue until 10% of the starting field remains, following which the players will bag their chips to take to Day 2 on Friday.
Good luck!
