Welcome to Day 1a of 2020 WSOPC Ameristar St. Charles
After more than a week of preliminary events, the World Series of Poker Circuit Ameristar St. Charles $1,700 Main Event starts today.
The Circuit Main will feature a standard structure wherein players start with 30,000 in their stacks with blinds at 100/100. Sixteen levels are on tap for Day 1a, the first of two starting days, with players playing through 2,000/4,000/4,000 — the big blind ante will be in use. Each player may use one allotted reentry should they run dry on chips during one of the 40-minute levels.
There's no defending champ for this tournament, as it's a new addition to the Circuit after a couple of years away from the St. Louis area.
Not only will the winner of the event claim a hefty prize, he or she will win entry into the 2020 WSOP Global Casino Championship to compete for a seven-figure prize pool and a bracelet.
Stay tuned to this space to see how the first day of the event develops.
