April 10 – 11, 2022

We had a huge turnout for today’s $1,700 Purple Chip Bounty tournament even with players limited to a single re-entry. The 227 entries more than tripled the $100,000 guarantee and created a prize pool worth $227,000 with another $113,500 up for grabs in the form of $500 bounties.

The last 29 spots will be paid with $1,810 for a min-cash and $54,155 awaiting the Event 40 champ.

Level 4:  200/300 with a 300 ante
Entries:  170

We knew the Purple Chip Bounty was going to be big with the combination of huge money, a Sunday schedule, and players losing their stack in the Championship.

There are 170 entries in Event 40 before the first break, good enough to more than double the $100,000 guarantee between the regular prize pool and bounties.

Level 1:  100/100

The second Purple Chip Bounty tournament on the schedule gets underway at 4 pm with a big crowd expected from those who fell short in the Championship. The $1,700 buy-in tournament has a $100,000 guarantee and a two-day structure.

Players start with 20,000 deep stacks and the first 12 levels last 30 minutes, going up to 40 from Level 13 forward. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 8:55 pm following the 40-minute dinner break and players may re-enter a single time if they bust their first shot.

They will continue playing through 15 levels and survivors at that point will bag their chips for a Day 2 return tomorrow at 2 pm.
