We are halfway through level 5 here in the Tournament Tent for the $300 + $30 Closer. So far we have 180 entries, including 24 re-entries, for Day 1A. This is Event #5 of the 2018 WSOP-C Playground series. As announced earlier, this Day 1 will be limited to 240 players plus 60 alternates. This adjustment was made due to the large turnout in the Main Event Day 1D, that started at noon.
This is the first of the 4 Day 1s and unlimited re-entries are permitted until the beginning of level 9 on each Day 1.
Play will continue for 14 30-minute levels, at which time the remaining players will bag up their chips to return to play on Day 2. Day 2 is on Monday, September 3rd at 12:00PM, and this tournament has a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool.
We currently have 134 players still in and the entries are still coming through the door. A very quick round of the tables allowed us to spot some of the bigger stacks. Timothy Deering seems to be doing very well and his chips seem to hover around the 100,000 mark. We also noticed Joseph Desveaux and Andre Noce, their stacks seem to have more or less 85,000 chips. We will have a leader board up when the break comes around 10:00pm.
