Event #3: $670 NLH ($600 + $70)
| Date: | Day 1a: Sep 19, 1 PM Day 1b: Sep 20, 1 PM Day 2: Sep 21, 1 PM |
| Blinds: | 40 Minutes |
| Starting Stack: | 25k |
| Late Entry: | 9 Levels (~8:15 PM) |
| Day 1 Ends: | 12.5% of the Field |
| Day 1a Entries: | 85 |
| Day 1a Prizes: | $48,450 |
Jimmy Lee bagged the big stack from Day 1a, so he’s in great shape to defend his title as Day 1b is set to run on Saturday. There were 85 entries for 1a, putting more than $48k into the prizes already. The 1b action gets going at 1 PM, and I expect ~125 entries for this one at least, putting the final number over 200.
Day 1b is a redo of 1a with 40-minute blinds and a 25k start stack. They have 9 levels to enter or rebuy, and they’ll play until 12.5% of the starting field remains. Day 1a played into Level 16 before they finally found their bags, so the biggest possible blinds on Day 2 will be 3k/6k/6k, but they may be lower if 1b finishes earlier than 1a.
I should be on this one pretty close to the start of action, as my Friday wasn’t particularly late.
