Event #17: $3,500 High Roller ($3,130 + $370)
| Date: | Day 1: Oct 12, 2 PM Day 2: Oct 13, 1 PM |
| Blinds: | 40 Minutes |
| Starting Stack: | 50k |
| Late Entry: | 12 Levels (~11:00 PM) |
| Day 1 Ends: | 15 Levels (~1:00 AM) |
The second-last event of the October Series kicks off Day 1 play at 2 PM on Sunday. The High Rollers will have 15 levels of play on Day 1, with entries open for 12 of those levels. That should put the last chance to buy into the high roller at about 11 PM, with Day 1 bagging up at about 1 AM.
Players sit down with 50k in chips for 40-minute levels throughout the game. The field might be in the money on Day 1, but the bags will come out after Level 15 regardless of whether they are getting paid or not.
Day 2 action resumes on Monday at 1 PM, and they’ll play to a winner on Monday, alongside the final day of play in the Main Event and the final event of the series, the $250 Big 30 Stack. I likely won’t be watching the High Rollers much at all on Sunday, as Day 2 of the Main will be my main focus, but I should catch some of the endgame action on Monday after the Main Event ring is awarded.
