| Date: | Day 1b: Oct 2, 11 AM |
| Blinds: | 30 Minutes |
| Starting Stack: | 30k |
| Late Entry: | 12 Levels (Entries Close About 6:15 PM) |
| Day 1 Ends: | End of Level 22, or 5% of the Field; Paid Spots Start at 15% |

One flight to the Mini Main event is already complete, with 252 total entries to kick things off. That left 13 bags at the end of 21 levels of play, when Alexander Raskopine bubbled the bags for the opening flight.
Oleh Yakovliev was at the top of the players remaining, and the only player with more than a million. Ryan Teixeira and David Tran round out the top 3 stacks from 1a. The full list of 1a stacks is at the end of the post.
Day 1b is the second chance for players to bag a stack, and I expect it to hit 350-400 entries at least. The game starts at 11 AM and players get 30k in chips. As an early flight, the blinds are 30 minutes, and there is a 45-minute dinner break following Level 12.
The end of dinner at about 6:15 PM also marks the end of entries for Day 1b, and they’ll play to 5% of the field, or the end of Level 22, whichever comes first. Day 1a played until the final hand of Level 21, just before 2 AM. If 1b ends at the same time, it will end around 11:15 PM, with action potentially going as late as midnight if they go to Level 22 (depending on bubble length).
As this is a Day 1 Paid event, players will start getting payouts at 15%.
