It is time for the Potomac Poker Open’s premier event, Event 11: $3,300 Main Event. What has been an eventful fortnight of poker at the MGM National Harbor will peak with this tournament.

The $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool tournament will get underway at 11 a.m. local time with Flight A. Aside from today’s action there are two other opening Flights with Flight B starting on Saturday August 3 at 11 p.m and Flight C beginning at 6 p.m on Saturday.

Day 1 Levels for this event are 50 minutes in length. Each Day 1 will play 13 levels of action before ending play for the night. Re-entry is allowed up until level 9. Breaks will be every three levels, with a dinner break coming after level 9.

The big blind ante format will be utilized and players received a deep stack of 50,000 starting chips with each entry. Many familiar names that have been battling on the felt throughout the entire PPO are expected to take their shot in the Main Event and a chance at what will be a big first place prize.
