Level 1:  100/200 with a 200 ante

The fourth flight of TPC Event 1 gets underway at 6 pm and the $400 buy-in tournament will get one step closer to its $200,000 guarantee. They are more than halfway through, with three levels locked down. Hitting the guarantee is a lock, and now we want to crush it.

They’ll start with 30K in their stacks and the first 19 levels last 30 minutes before increasing to 40. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 9 at 10:30 pm. Play will continue until 12.5% of the field remains and survivors return on Sunday at 11 am in the money.

  • Players begin with 30,000 in chips
  • Levels 1-19 last 30 minutes; Levels 20+ last 40 minutes
