We are gearing up for another busy day here at Playground as the second live starting of the Main Event is set to get underway.
Players will start Day 1B of the $1,000 + $100 Main Event with 50,000 in chips and play ten 60-minute levels on their journey through this 4-day event. The Main Event allows for a single re-entry per flight, as well as direct buy-ins during the first two levels of Day 2, providing everyone plenty of opportunities to get their share of the $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Day 1A brought out 260 players, but thanks to the two well-attended mega satellites that ran yesterday, expect to see a larger field in this afternoon. A total of 776 players took a shot at yesterday’s satellites, providing 70 among them tickets for the Main Event.
There will be another Main Event Mega Satellite running today at 2pm. For the modest price of $110, this Mega Satellite guarantees at least 30 more seats, giving players of all levels a great opportunity to play their way in to the Main Event. There is some great value to be had here, so expect to see many players who already have Main Event tickets take a shot to get a discounted second (or third or fourth) bullet.
The players are beginning to make their way in to the tournament hall, and the cards will be in the air soon. Good luck to all!
