Day 1d of Event #5, a $25,000 Guaranteed No-Limit Hold'em tournament with a $50 buy-in, will begin at 7 p.m. this evening

This is fourth of six starting flights that will continue to play out over the next two days. The first wrapped up just after 4 p.m. Monday with 113 total entries and just 13 survivors.

The second finished just after midnight this morning, drawing a total of 136 entries with 17 making it through to Thursday's second and final day. And finally, the third was done around 5 p.m. today drawing 108 entries with 13 survivors.

Players get 10,000 in tournament chips and will play 15 20-minute levels or until just 12 percent of the total entries remain.

Unlimited re-entries are permitted up until the start of the 13th level and players can jump in as many starting flights as they like, carrying the biggest stack forward to the final day.

The affordable buy-in and re-entry format is designed to attract both veteran rounders and recreational players and should be a fun ride throughout as players try to build a contending stack.

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is in the building and will endeavor to keep you abreast of all the action throughout.
