Welcome to Day 1b of Poker Night in America at Golden Nugget
One flight is down, and two flights are left, with the second of those coming today for Poker Night in America at Golden Nugget.
It was a stacked field yesterday as the 30 players that showed up for Day 1a included plenty of recognizable names. By night's end, although 17 levels were scheduled, six players bagged up in the middle of Level 15 (1,500/3,000/500). Sam Panzica led the pack with 199,500, followed by Matt Glantz (183,000), Jake Daniels (160,000), Chan Pelton (142,500), David Morton (116,000), and Matt Davenport (99,000).
Once again, the schedule calls for 17 levels of 40 minutes apiece, but it remains to be seen how many will be played. Players will begin with stacks of 30,000 and blinds at 50/100. Cards are schedule to fly at 11 a.m. local time at the Golden Nugget, and players will have the option to reenter through the start of Level 11. Stay tuned for coverage here on PokerNews.
