While we’re waiting to roll things out in the Super High Roller, the $1,100 Freeze-Out is close to hitting its $100,000 guaranteed prize pool in the first hour of play.

With no re-entries available, the players usually hit the felt as soon as they can.

Among the early players so far we have Ken “Teach” Aldridge (pictured), Jon Borenstein, Ory Hen, and James Salmon.

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-Out)
Level 1: 25/50

We have two big new tournaments today, both featuring different buy-ins and structures. While the $50,000 Super High Roller plays out in the meeting room across the hall, there is a $1,100 Freeze-out in the ballroom with a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Players only get one shot at moving a stack to the final table and title.

Players sit down to 12,000 stacks and tournament levels last 30 minutes from start to finish. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 4:30pm but no re-entries are allowed if their stack hits the felt. A dinner break is scheduled at 6:30pm and they will return to find our Event 16 champion.

Cards go in the air at noon and we’ll keep an eye on them as they progress through the afternoon into the evening.
