2025 Summer Super Stack – Event #14: $1,500 Superstack NLH Day 1A ($1,350 + $150)
| Date: | Aug 8, Noon |
| Blinds: | 40 Minutes (60 Minutes on Day 2) |
| Starting Stack: | 40k |
| Late Entry: | 12 Levels (~9:30) |
| Day 1 Ends: | 10% of the Field or the End of Level 15 |
The Main Event is upon us, with the first ME action kicking off at noon on Friday. Friday is the first of two starting days for the Main, and I predict more than 350 entries for the game before the end of entries on Saturday.
Players get 40k in chips to start the day, and they play 40-minute levels on Day 1. Players can enter the game for 12 levels, with the final chance for chips coming at about 9:30 PM.
This game is somewhat different than the other multi-day games in this series, as it will bag up at the end of Level 15, even if they haven’t hit 10% of the field yet. If they make it to 10% before the end of 15, the bags will come out early, but with a 40k starting stack, that seems unlikely. That means that Day 2 players won’t necessarily be in the money on Day 2 for this game.
In the Spring, Alex Liu took down the game after a heads-up deal with David Swaim. Swaim got an extra $12k for a total of $70k for second, while Liu pocketed $78,609.
I won’t likely be following this one very closely on Friday’s Day 1a, as I’ll be focused on Day 2 of the Megastack, which also runs Friday. However, once that game ends, this one will be my second priority.
