Event 6 Day 1H: Play Begins

The Day 1G starting flight for Event 6 ($125 no-limit hold’em – $150,000 guaranteed) has begun with blinds at 25-50 and starting stacks worth 10,000. They will play 14 30-minute levels with a 15-minute break every two levels this evening and play should end just before 11 p.m.

The total field size is already 2,414 players so the prize pool us up to $241,400. There is still one starting flight that will take place on Wednesday so that number could grow to 3,000 and double the guaranteed prize pool. Here is a breakdown of the remaining schedule for today.

Wednesday, August 14: Day 1I – 7 p.m.
