Welcome To Day 1b of the 2021 bestbet Jacksonville Winter Open $2,000 Main Event
The 2021 bestbet Jacksonville Winter Open $2,000 Main Event continues today with Day 1b, the second of two starting flights. Cards are in the air at noon local time and a room full of hopefuls are sure to be in action, looking to add their names to the list of Sunday's Day 2 participants.
Friday's Day 1a drew 195 entries and saw 27 players advance, with Dustin Holladay (365,000) and Ken Stacy (361,000) out in front of the rest, though only narrowly over the trio of Scott Stewart (339,000), Christopher Laieta (336,000), and Justin Zaki (326,000).
Players receive 25,000 in chips to start with blinds starting at 100/100. Fourteen 40-minute levels are on the schedule with 15-minute breaks at the completion of every three levels and a dinner break at the end of Level 9 (approximately 6:30 p.m. local time).
Registration with unlimited re-entries will remain open through the dinner break, closing at the beginning of Level 10 at around 7:30 p.m. local time. At that time, registration for the tournament will officially close and the prize pool and payout information will be announced soon thereafter. All who remain when play finishes at the end of the evening will then punch their tickets into Sunday's Day 2, which will begin at noon again and play down to a winner.
