$1M Escalator Series Tournament Supervisor Jordan Cutter announces shuffle up and deal.

The clock strikes 11 a.m. and Saturday’s Flight E of the $560 buy-in,$400,000 guaranteed $1M Escalator Series is underway. In last week’s $350 event, this flight was the largest of the six. That trend is expected to continue today as the weekend hits its stride and goes into full swing here at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hollywood poker room.

Here’s a look at how today’s Flight E plays out:

11AM: $560 Buy-In, $400,000 Guaranteed – Flight E

  • 20,000-chip starting stacks and 30-/40-minute levels
  • Late registration/unlimited re-entry available until the start of Level 9 (about 3:30 p.m.)
  • Play concludes following Level 14 (about 6:45 p.m.)
  • Structure sheet

Before cards even went in the air, the clock read more than 50 players registered. Tournament staff said they fully expect the $400,000 guarantee to be bested during this flight. A Flight E field of 183 entries is needed to accomplish that feat.

We will touch base with you again when registration closes and the final attendance figure is verified. In the meantime, complete chip counts through Flight E are available one post below.
