The second of three starting flights for the EPT Sochi National will get underway shortly. Due to kick-off at 7pm, this flight differs from the other two in that it has 30-minute levels on the clock. It also offers players additional opportunities to get involved in the action as late registration for Day 1a ends after Level-8.
All flights have a starting stack of 30,000 chips and each Day 1 will play until 15% of the field remains. This means that every player who makes it through to Day 2 will return already in the money. The levels are 60 minutes from Day 2 onwards. There are unlimited re-entries available across all of the starting flights.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for full coverage of the event, which starts at 7pm local time.
