It's going to be another bright and early day in sunny Kahnawake, Quebec in Canada at the Playground Poker Club! It's Day 1a of the $1,650 Card Player Poker Tour Event at the World Cup of Cards with $400,000 guaranteed.
Today is the first of two starting flights in this next-day re-entry event. Registration remains open on both starting days until the end of Level 6 until approximately 4:00 p.m. local time.
Players begin their day with 30,000 tournament chips and will play 45-minute levels, with a 15-minute break every three levels. Should players be fortunate to make it to Day 2, blinds will increase to 60 minutes a piece. On both Day 1's, play will conclude after 14 levels after which time players will bag and tag their chips for Day 2 on Sunday at Noon. If a player bags on Day 1a and chooses to play on Day 1b, that player will carry forward their biggest stack.
Day 2 will play nine levels at 60 minutes a piece, and Day 3 will play down to a winner!
