Level 1:  100/100

The second day of the RRPO series is here and we can expect another big crowd in the Grand Ballroom after a great start to the series on Wednesday. The first two flights of Event 1 drew more than 1,000 entries and it should be even bigger today.

The $400 buy-in tournament has a $1,000,000 guarantee and eight starting flights. The first two put more than $340,000 towards that number and the seven-digit prize pool is a lock.

Players start with 20,000 deep stacks and all Day 1 levels last 30 minutes, going up to 40 minutes on Day 2. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 2:30 pm with unlimited re-entries options. Flight C will continue into the evening and come to an end when 10% of the field remains. Those players will advance to Day 2 on Sunday at 1 pm already in the money.

It will be a fun day in the Grand Ballroom and we look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

Day 1A Players Remaining:  56 of 555

After players returned from their last break of the day, the field quickly hit 57 players to put them on the bubble. Tournament staff paused the clock and they would take two minutes off for each hand dealt until one player was eliminated.

It took five hands before we saw any action and it went in a hurry. Marc Brooks had a player all in and at risk for 84,000 but he needed help. The at-risk player was in good shape for a double up holding versus the of Brooks. Right up until the flop.

Brooks paired his queen, his opponent had a gutshot, but Brooks had one of his jacks. The board finished with the turn and river to send the field into the money.

Day 1A Players Remaining:  60 of 555

In a bit of a surprise, Flight A managed to make it to another break without reaching the money bubble. There were 60 players remaining at the end of Level 17 and they will return on four knockouts away from earning a seat in Day 2.

Day 1A Players Remaining:  99 of 555

Another three levels are in the books and tournament staff sent Flight A players on another break while they pulled the purple chips while introducing the 25K chips.

Jeffrey Poole is our first player to top 300K and his 308,000 leads the field. Scott Swatscheno has the second biggest stack with 294,000 followed by Martin Ryan’s 272,000.

The time is here for players to begin making a move to build a stack. They will not see another break and Flight A will hit the break before too long.
