The women are back in action for the first event of the $160 + $15 Women’s Series. Today’s event features a guaranteed prize pool of $5,000 and is the first of five open events in the Women’s Series 2020, with the Championship available only for qualifying players. The top 3 finishers in each open event, receive a direct entry to the Championship. Additionally, the top 40% in each open event will receive points toward the series leaderboard, and the top 30 point earners also receive an entry into the Championship, bringing the total to the top 45 women.  $20 will be withheld from each open event buy-in to make up the Championship prize pool.

Players begin this afternoon with 20,000 in chips but have the option of purchasing an “Add-on” of 5,000 chips for $5 at the time of purchase. This is a 10-handed tournament with 20-minute blinds for the first 12 levels. Blinds move to 30-minutes long at the start of level 13 and will be reverted back to 20-minutes when heads-up play begins.  This is a single re-entry event, so competitors are allowed only one re-entry permitted until the end of the late registration period at the beginning of level seven. The final table begins when 10 players remain.

Good luck to all competitors!
