Day 1b of the PokerNews Cup Begins at 11 a.m.
Day 1b of Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series Event #55: 2022 PokerNews Cup $1,100 will get underway at 11 a.m. local time on what will be the second of three starting days in this $1 Million Guarantee event.
Day 1a collected 181 entries and ended with 23 players remaining with Shea Quintin and Daniel Hinh bagging the two biggest stacks. Day 1b is expected to be substantially larger in terms of number of entries as several Golden Nugget cash game qualifiers will be taking their seats today.
The $1 Million guarantee will be made up of $1,100 entries. Each entry will garner a stack of 30,000. Reentry is unlimited and will be open for all of today and tomorrow on Day 1. Even if a player bags they may opt to enter another flight and move the best bag forward, if they happen to bag twice. Levels are 40 minutes and registration will be open until the start of Level 13 on each of the three starting days, meaning a max late registration will be about 8:45 p.m. local time on Sunday, June 26.
The day will play down until 12.5% of the field is remaining. At that point, the players will bag and be officially in the money as they head to Day 2, which will be at 12 noon on Monday, June 27. There are 15-minute breaks after Level 3, Level 6, and Level 12, a 60-minute dinner break after Level 9, and a 10-minute break after Level 15 in the late night.
PokerNews will be there to report the action all day long today!
