Event 1 Flight C: Double Up the Guarantee

$600 Deep Stack NLH (Single Re-Entry Per Flight)
$300,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 2: 100/100 with a 100 ante
Flight C Entries: 310 (Total: 1,155)

Chris Nomikos

Flight C crossed over 300 entries before Level 2 came to an end and the Event 1 prize pool is now over $600,000. Double the $300,000 guarantee with a lot of time to spin it up.

That’s a great number for the first major series in a year.

Chris Nomikos is among those in early action and looking to continue a hot streak. He finished up his 2020 run with two huge scores in the Poker Room. The first was a third-place finish in the $1,100 November Holiday Special for $36K and Nomikos followed that up with a win in the $1,100 December Big Slick for another $30K payday.

Marsha Wolak

The prediction of a big day seems dead-on when the Flight C field had over 200 players at the start of play. There’s a fast-moving, socially-distanced line to get so there’s a good chance we hit the 400 unique player mark this afternoon.

Marsha Wolak is back in action for the first time since early March. The SHRP regular owns a Poker Showdown trophy from the Poker Showdown in 2015 which paired nicely with her WSOP Ladies Championship bracelet from 2011.

Event 1 Flight C: Heading into the Weekend

$600 Deep Stack NLH (Single Re-Entry Per Flight)
$300,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 1: 100/100

Thursday saw the return of a big tournament series to South Florida and it was a success by any measure. Event 1 drew 845 entries over the first two flights to crush the $300,000 guarantee. The prize pool for the $600 buy-in tournament is already over $443,000 with four full flights to go.

Flight C gets underway at 10 am and players will start with 20,000 deep stacks. All Day 1 levels last 30 minutes and go up to 40 minutes on Day 2. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 2:30 pm and players have a single re-entry option should they lose that stack. Due to safety concerns, the field will be capped at 400 unique players, once that number is hit only those in the game will be able to re-enter.

It will be another big day in the Seminole Ballroom and we roll into the weekend looking to make a splash.
