It is time for Day 1b the highly anticipated MSPT Bally’s Black Hawk $1,110 Main Event to begin at 12 p.m. noon local time. This is the premier event of what has been a successful series in the picturesque Black Hawk, Colorado.
Day 1b is the second of three starting flight days. Day 1a had 85 entries and ended with ten players, led by Adrian Buckley who bagged 620,000.
A buy in of $1,110 will give each player a starting stack of 25,000. Levels are 40 minutes long with a 10-minute break every three levels. This is a re-entry tournament, so entries are unlimited for the re-entry period, which will be all the way up until the start of Level 13.
PokerNews will be on hand to provide all of the Day 1b updates as the field is expected to grow in size on this Friday.
