Level 3 Begins (315 Entrants)

The players return from break to begin Level 3, with increased blinds of 75-150 and a 25 ante.

The tournament clock shows 159 entrants in today’s Day 1B field, improving upon yesterday’s field of 156. That creates a two-day total of 315 entrants, and registration remains open until about 5:00 pm.

Players who busted yesterday or today have the option of re-entering tomorrow on Day 1C. Players also have the option of paying $10,000 to receive 72,000 in chips (60 big blinds) at the start of Day 2 on Tuesday.

Today’s field will play 10 one-hour levels, with a 45-minute dinner break after Level 6 (about 7:20 pm). Action should end shortly before 12:30 am.
