Event #1 was the kickoff event of the Winter Festival 2018. It attracted 670 entries, which took place across 4 Day-1s. The guarantee was missed by a few thousand dollars, and as a result, our players benefited from a tasty overlay. A total of 127 players managed to qualify a stack for Day 2. Play continued through another 12 levels on Day 2 and then 15 player qualified for Day 3 – the final day.
