Shuffle Up and Deal!

After a few opening remarks by APPT President Jeffrey Haas and a local Chinese mask-changing dance, Bryan Huang has said the magic four words, "Shuffle up and deal!" Cards are in the air.

Tournament Director Danny McDonagh has given the player the following notes:

* Play today will be to a maximum of eight levels.

* The top ten chip stacks that advance to Day 2 from the combined Day 1 flights will be placed on separate tables.

* The top three chip stacks at the three-table re-draw will also be placed on separate tables.

McDonagh also instructed the players to be extremely careful about betting out of turn, as any chips that are placed in the pot at any point (even out of turn) must remain in the pot.
