Today at 12:00pm, the third of 5 starting flights in the MILLIONS North America Main Event. Today is when the numbers of participants should start to ramp up several notches as satellite qualifiers start to join the field in quantity. After today, there’s one “normal” Day 1 (Friday 12:00pm) plus a Turbo Day 1 with 40 minute blinds on Friday evening beginning at 8:00pm. Players may also choose to join the field on either of the Day 2s until the beginning of level 13 – so while there’s still plenty of opportunity to join the event – only today and tomorrow are “regular” starting days.
Players looking to maximize their EV in the tournament are also playing multiple Day 1s and bagging multiple stacks to take to Day 2. With two Day 2s on the agenda, a player can use these additional stacks to enter or re-enter both of them – and then on Day 3, a player’s best stack will move forward. There’s no better way to give yourself the best chance to go deep than to take all the opportunities possible to build a huge stack!
Action gets underway in the Tournament Hall at 12:00pm and players will each start with a 1,000,000 chip stack. Starting blinds will be 5,000/10,000 with a 5,000 button ante. Play today will continue through 8 60-minute levels with 15-minute breaks following every 2nd level.
Good luck on the felts!
