More Hopefuls To Descend in Meskwaki for Day 1b of Main Event
It is time for the Day 1b of the MSPT Meskwaki Main Event. Action gets rolling here in Iowa at 3 p.m. local time. The players today will battle to attempt to join the 20 players who survived Day 1a, lead by Derek McMaster who finished the day with 482,500.
The buy in for this event is $1,100, which gets every entry a starting stack of 15,000. Each entry has the option of a $10 add-on for an additional 5,000 chips and one would assume that most players will elect to take that opportunity to boost their starting stack to 20,000.
Levels are 40 minutes in length, a 10-minute break will be held every three levels. Day 1a ended with 12% with 15 minutes remaining in Level 15, so Day 1b will mirror that finish and end at the same day so as to keep the flights as even as possible.
The survivors of the day will advance to Day 2, which is on Sunday November 3rd at 11 a.m. There they will combine with the players who survive Day 1a to contest for the title.
