Get Ready for First Flight of $1,680 NLH Main Event
Get ready for action in Day 1a of $1,680 NLH Main Event at the 2022 bestbet Jacksonville Spring Series as the first starting flight will kick off Thursday at noon ET.
The $1,680 buy-in tournament will feature the ever-popular mystery bounties, giving players a chance to peel for riches as they bust their opponents.

Players will begin with a starting stack of 25,000 chips with blinds of 100/200 and levels lasting 40 minutes in duration. The tournament will have a 15-minute break every three levels and there will be a one-hour dinner break after Level 9.
All three starting flights will play until approximately 12.5% of the field remains or at the tournament director's discretion.
Day 1b will kick off on Friday at noon, while the third and final starting flight will commence on Saturday at the same time.
Day 2 will play to a winner on Sunday, who will earn the lion's share of the prize pool and the championship trophy. The final table action will be live-streamed by bestbetLIVE on Twitch, Youtube and Facebook.
