Unfortunately, none of the RunGood Ambassador Team of Caitlin Comeskey, Taylor Howard, Nikki Limo, or Daniel Hughes managed to find a bag last night so you better believe they will be out in full force today.
As with Day 1a, players will begin the tournament with 30,000 in chips with blinds beginning at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Levels will last 30 minutes, with a 15-minute break occurring after every four levels. Registration will remain open until the beginning of level 9, after which the players will play until there is only 12.5% of the field remaining.
The surviving players will guarantee themselves a minimum cash and advance onto Day 2 where levels will be upped to 40-minute levels. Those who do not find a bag on this flight will have ample opportunity tomorrow to fire again. This tournament is unlimited reentry and players who bag multiple times will see their smaller stack taken out of play for a minimum cash, while their bigger stack will remain in play.
