Welcome to Day 1b of RunGoodGear.com Downstream Casino
After a Day 1a that saw Terry Presley bag 277,500 to lead the nine survivors, Day 1b of RunGoodGear.com Downstream Casino is set to kick off here outside of Joplin, Mo.
Cards are scheduled to fly at 1 p.m. local time, and the format is an unlimited reentry with a $675 buy in. Entries are allowed through the end of Level 9. Each player will begin with 15,000 in chips, and blinds will be 25/50 to begin, progressing at 30-minute intervals for the first 8 levels before switching to 40-minute levels at Level 9. The tournament will wrap up for the day when 10 percent of the field remains.
Last night, play carried into Level 15, but since the starting fields are usually larger on Saturdays in these weekend tournaments, it could be a longer grind to get down to 10 percent of the field. For Day 2, the tournament will resume at whichever Day 1 time ended earlier.
