Day 1 of the WSOP Circuit Thunder Valley $3,250 High Roller Begins at 4 p.m.
The World Series of Poker Circuit Thunder Valley begins to hit the home stretch today, as the $3,250 High Roller kicks off at 4 p.m. The High Roller is the tenth of 14 ring events on the WSOPC Thunder Valley schedule, with the highest buy-in of any of the tournaments running in this year's series.
Day 1 of the High Roller commences at 4 p.m. today. Players will start off with 40,000 chips and play through 40-minute levels, with Day 1 action ending after 12 levels. The blinds will start at 100/100, and big blind ante will kick in at Level 2. Level 12, the final level of the day, will play at 800/1600 with a 1600 big blind ante.
The WSOPC Thunder Valley High Roller is an unlimited re-entry event, with late registration available up until the beginning of Level 13, which begins when Day 2 restarts at noon local time Friday.
This festival marks the second time in 2019 that the WSOPC has come through Lincoln, CA for a stop at the Thunder Valley Poker Room.
The first of these stops came in January, which saw Stephen Song take the championship in this event. Song outlasted a field of 74 entries, taking down the first-place share of $75,480 in a prize pool that grew to a total of $220,000.
The September version of the $3,250 High Roller could very well be packed with a field of decorated poker players. Multi-time WSOPC ring winners like Frankie O'Dell, Jed Hoffman and David Brookshire have already added to their resumes with wins in ring events earlier in this series.
Other players that could be in the High Roller mix today include David Valdez, Jarod Minghini, Kameron Petsche and Srini Godavarthy, all fixtures in the northern California poker scene.
