One starting flight is in the books but two more remain in the partypoker Caribbean Poker Party 2018 $5,300 Main Event, and it's time for Day 1b at the lovely Baha Mar Resort.
On Day 1a, 185 entries were registered in the eight-level flight, which saw registration remain open throughout play. About two-thirds of those made it through, with Francois Billard and partypoker pro Joao Simao leading the way around the 4 million mark, up from the starting stack of 1 million.
An identical schedule is planned for Day 1b, with players again receiving starting stacks of 1 million and playing one-hour levels, breaks every two levels. A 90-minute dinner break is on the docket after the sixth level. One reentry is permitted per player, with blinds winding up at 8,000/16,000 with a 16,000 big blind ante on the day's final level. Blinds begin at 2,000/5,000/5,000.
With the event only a fraction of the way to meeting its lofty $2 million guarantee, a large field should be in the offing, especially judging by the $25,500 MILLIONS World that's pushing toward 300 entries. Players eliminated after registration ends in that one will likely head right over to the Main Event.
Keep an eye on the updates here throughout the day on PokerNews.
