Welcome to Day 1c of the 2021 MSPT Venetian $1,100 Buy-in $1.5 Million GTD Main Event
Today marks the halfway point of the Mid-Stakes Poker Tour $1,100 (1.5M GTD) Main Event Day 1's now that Days 1a and 1b have already played to completion. Today, players will compete in Day 1c and try to chase tournament chip leaders Sean Banahan of Day 1a (587,000) and Ben Farrell of Day 1b (501,000).
So far, the event has attracted 781 entries total (251 from Day 1a and 530 from Day 1b), which is expected to get substantially larger as the weekend draws near. This total brings the total prize pool from entries alone up to $753,665.
Play is set to begin at 11:10 a.m. local time. Players will begin with 25,000 in chips and levels will be 40-minutes throughout the tournament. Blinds will begin at 100/100 and a big-blind ante will be introduced at the start of level four (100/300/300). Players will get 15-minute breaks at the end of every three levels and a 45-minute dinner break at the end of level nine.
Late registration is available until 6:25 p.m. and players will have the option re-enter an unlimited amount of times before then. Fifteen levels are scheduled to be played, which means action will conclude at around 10:40 p.m. The surviving players will bag and tag their chips and advance to Sunday's Day 2. Play will be nine-handed as tables no longer have dividers on them. Fully vaccinated patrons may choose not to wear a mask.
Some notables that have already made it to Sunday’s Day 2 include Jordan Cristos, Faraz Jaka, Nadya Magnus, Nick Pupillo, Mike Dentale, John Morgan, and Jared Jaffee.
