The players have taken their seats, and the cards are now in the air. As of right now, we only have 90 entrants, but registration is open until Level 12, so we expect that number to go up as the day goes on.
Welcome back to beautiful Southern California! We are back to bring you Day 1b of the $1,600 Main Event here at Harrah’s Rincon. Yesterday, 142 entrants came into the casino with hopes of walking away as a champion, and only 18 players still have that dream. Setting the bar for today’s players is David Randall, who bagged an impressive 330,000 chips last night.
We are expecting a good turnout today. Everyone who was eliminated yesterday can re-enter today, along with any other players who have $1,600 to burn through. This includes the defending champion Joseph Kuether, who tweeted yesterday that he would be back today to defend his title after being knocked out early yesterday. Since yesterday’s field played 17 levels, that is the exact same amount we will play today, meaning we will be wrapping up around 2 AM.
The blinds will start off at 25-50, and all of the players will begin with 20,000 in chips. The players will start filing in soon, and the cards will be in the air at 12:00 Pacific Time. Be sure to tune in all day, as we bring you non-stop action of today’s Circuit Main Event!
