UKIPT Brighton Main Event Continues With Day 1b & 1c
The PokerStars UKIPT is back in full swing at the Rendezvous Casino on the seafront of Brighton. Day 1b of the ￡1,100 Main Event kicks off today, starting at 12 p.m. local time.
Players will start the tournament with 30,000 chips and can have a maximum of three entries per flight. Blinds start at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante and levels progress every 40 minutes. There will be regular breaks throughout the day, including a 45-minute dinner break at the end of Level 6.
This is expected to be the busiest of the flights. A total of 15 percent of the field will make it through to Day 2 and those who do so will be in the money.
There will also be a turbo flight running later in the evening, starting at 7 p.m. local time.
Marian Ionut Farcas of Romania finished as the Day 1a chip leader with 656,000, while Bhavin Khatri came out in second place with 513,000.
The UKIPT Brighton Main Event runs until Sunday night, at which point a new champion will be crowned.
