The first three starting flights saw a total of 365 entries. They’ll be joined by players from the turbo Day 1d flight that began at 11 a.m. and is currently ongoing. Late registration is also open until the start of the day, so the field can potentially grow much larger by the time the prize pool is confirmed. The action picks up on Level 15 with blinds of 2,500/5,000 and a 5,000 big blind ante, and levels will again be 40 minutes long. Play is scheduled to go down to the final table by the end of the day.
Stay tuned as PokerNews follows all the action throughout the day. The feature table will also be streamed on 888poker’s official YouTube and Twitch channels, featuring commentary from David Tuchman.
