Day 1b, the second starting flight of the tournament, starts today. Those who survive will make it through to Day 2 and the tournament will play down to a winner on Day 3.

Day 1b commences at 12:00 p.m. local time. Blinds start at 100/200 with a 200 ante and levels increase every 40 minutes. Players will receive 60,000 chips in exchange for their entry fee, meaning starting stacks are 300 big blinds deep. There will be a 15 minute break every three levels.

Late registration is available until 18:45 and players can take advantage of a single reentry up until the end of level 8. Play continues until the end of level 12, at which point remaining players will bag up their chips.
