Late registration remains open until the end of Level 13 (approx. 3:15 p.m.) for any players still wanting to join.
Tournament organizers have confirmed that any player who reaches the money on Day 2A but is eliminated before the end of play, is allowed to register and participate in Flight C, D or Day 2B.
Additionally, players who bag chips can also play Flight C, Flight D, or Day 2B to earn an additional payout and potentially advance to Day 3 with a larger qualifying stack.
The plan for the day at the outset is to play down to 7%, but we await confirmation from tournament organisers.
The only other event taking place today is Event #12: $10,000 8-Game Mix which plays down to a winner. Wondering how to play 8-Game? Check out this helpful guide.
