Event #14: $1,500 Super Stack (Main) ($1,350 + $150) Day 1a
| Date: | Day 1a: Aug 14, Noon |
| Blinds: | 40 Minutes |
| Starting Stack: | 40k |
| Late Entry: | 12 Levels (Entries Close About 9:30 PM) |
| Day 1 Ends: | 15 Levels, or 10% of the Field; Players Must Bag Chips to Cash; Some Day 2 Players May Not Get Paid |
The opening flight to the Main Event is set to run at noon on Friday. Players get 40k to start, and Day 1 levels last for 40 minutes.
Entries are open for 12 levels on Day 1, putting the end of entries at about 9:30 PM. After that, they play until 10% of the field, or the end of Level 15, whichever comes first. Note that is different from previous multi-flight games in this series, which bagged at 10% no matter how long it took. This change means that some players who make Day 2 of the Main may not get paid, depending on how deep each flight plays.
This Spring, Jamie Martin and Osbert Liu chopped the top two prizes in the Main over a field of 315 entries for prizes of $403,988. Last Summer, Chase Bonertz took down the Main Event over 329 entries for the top prize from the $421,943 total. His fiancée railed Bonertz to the end, with the proceeds from the game helping to make their coming wedding that much better.
