$1,650 Winter Poker Open Main Event
$500,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 1: 100/100
It’s the last Saturday on the Winter Poker Open schedule and it the last chance to put together a Day 2 bag in the $1,650 buy-in Main Event.
The tournament drew 240 entries over the first two flights to leave it only 94 away from surpassing the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. It will get there early in the day and continue climbing into the evening.
Austin Buchanan has the current Day 2 lead and it is a big one. He put 639,000 away in Flight A, Mark Zhang bagged 283,000 in Flight B and that wasn’t enough to crack the top three. Second place Ken O’Donnell has 452,000 with Haitham Kaki in third bagging 407,000.
Today will play out like the first two flights. Players will sit down to 30,000 starting stacks and all Day 1 levels last 40 minutes, increasing to 60 on Day 2. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 10 around 6:30 pm after the one-hour dinner break. Flight C will come to an end after Level 15 and survivors will return tomorrow at 11 am for Day 2.
Cards fly at 11 am and it will be a fun, packed Poker Room all day long.
