$1M Escalator Series
$560 Buy-In, $400,000 Guaranteed

We’re back in action in the poker room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hollywood. The final installment of the first-ever $1M Escalator Series kicks off today at 11 a.m. with the first of six starting flights.

Today’s Event 4 was preceded by $150, $250 and $350 buy-in events. They boasted $100,000, $200,000 and $300,000 guarantees (all of which were bested handily). With a $560 buy-in and $400,000 guarantee, Event 4 is the cream of the Escalator crop and will send the combined series prize pool up over $1,000,000. Accordingly, players are afforded deep, 20,000-chip starting stacks and are set to log 30-minute levels throughout play.

Here’s a closer look at Thursday’s schedule breakdown:

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