While the opening event of the series is limited entry, Event #2 is the first shot for the whole field at a Summer Super Stack win. One of the cheapest buy-ins of the series, Event #2 kicks off at 6 PM on Aug 5, and players get 25k in chips for their $230.
The registration desk is open for 9 levels, putting the end of entries at around 9:30 PM, 3.5 hours after the first hand is dealt. After that, they’ll play down to a winner before they end for the day. My main focus will be on the Seniors until it finishes, but I should get over for coverage of the endgame on this event.
In Summer 2025, Jim Berry & Ryan Truong chopped this one heads-up late in the evening. They made the chop shortly after Alicia Dodds ended her night in 3rd, and while Berry was in the lead and took the official win, there wasn’t much in it, and Berry’s first-place win was only worth about $100 more than Truong’s second, based on ICM. They battled through a field of 126 for just shy of $25k in total prizes.
