It’s time for the Main Event! The biggest game of the series kicks off its opening flight Thursday morning at 11 AM. This is a beefed-up version of the Main from previous series, with a $2,300 buy-in, as well as a 40k stack.
That extra juice in the prize should almost certainly guarantee that this game hits $2.5 million for the first time. The total is in the cards even if this game gets less than January’s total, since the buy-in is basically 33% bigger.
Blinds on Day 1 will be 40 minutes long, and entries are open for 12 levels. That means the desk closes on Day 1 at about 8:30 PM, after which, they’ll play 17 levels, or until only 10% of the field remains.
The opening flight runs on Thursday, with Day 1b on Friday, and Day 1c on Saturday. All Day 1 flights start at 11 AM, while Day 2 and 3 start at noon.
In January, Manish “Bubs” Ralh took down the Main Event ring over 1,371 entries. His $312,624 prize was the biggest share of $2,077,065 in total prizes. Ralh took the game down after an entertaining battle with Angelo Jopek.
