Flight C Rounds Out the Starting Flights Beginning at Noon CT
All is quiet in The Venue at the moment, but that wont be the case starting at noon CT. The third and final starting flight in Event #1, a $365 re-entry tournament with nine $1,675 Main Event seats added, kicks off at that time and is expected to dwarf its Flight A and Flight B predecessors.
Like previous flights, players start with 10,000 chips at the 25/50 level. Unlimited re-entry is permitted until registration closes following Level 8 (at roughly 4:15 p.m.). Once the Flight C field is finalized, the complete player pool will be verified and the prize pool will be posted. As of now, 1,211 entries have racked up an unofficial prize pool of $363,300. Today's flight is expected to surge the field past 2,000 entries and put that prize pool at or over $600,000.
Here's a closer look at today's play:
