For those who failed to qualify or haven’t played yet, another chance presents itself today with Day 1b, starting at 12:30 p.m. local time. This second flight follows the exact same structure as Day 1a, featuring 45-minute levels and ending once only 25% of the field remains.
The only difference concerns the entry rules: players who participated in Day 1a but didn’t qualify will be allowed to play Day 1b only once. However, those who haven’t registered yet can enter and re-enter during Day 1b.

: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
On a flop of 5♦3♦5♥, a player under the gun bet 1,200 and was called by Arthur Lacroix on the button, while the big blind folded.
The under-the-gun player checked the 9♣ turn then called after Lacroix bet 2,500. They discovered the 2♥ river, but this last card of the board didn't bring more action.
Lacroix then flipped over 8♥8♦ which was the winning hand as the under-the-gun player had 3♣3♠ for a lower pair.
