Welcome to Day 1c of Event #8: $1,000 No Limit Hold'em PA Championship
The final flight of Event #8: $1,000 No Limit Hold'em PA Championship kicks off at 5:30 p.m. EST, and looks to be the largest flight by far. Day 1c hopefuls will be looking to join the 42 players who've bagged up chips so far, and lock in their seats for tomorrow's Day 2 which also kicks off at 5:30 p.m. EST.
Day 1b saw a total of 74 entries take to the online streets, and just 24 of them managed to make it through the end of the day. 4evergr8 bagged up the Day 1b chip lead with a stack of 78,348, which is a great deal behind Day 1a chip leader Ryan "fun_game" McKnight and his stack of 138,081. Other players who advanced from Day 1b include three-time WSOP Gold Bracelet winner
Joe "ChilledChaos" McKeehen (72,732), 2017 WSOP Main Event Runner-Up Dan "LavaCake" Ott (56,932), and Zach "CaptainLevi" Gruneberg (50,291).
Players who enter today's tournament must be geolocated in the state of Pennsylvania to be able to play. Players will start with 15,000 in tournament chips, and may rebuy up to three times during the late registration period of 150 minutes. Levels will be 12 minutes in length on all Day 1 flights, then extend to 15 minutes for Day 2. Play will conclude for the day once either 17 levels have been played, or if 26% of the field is remaining, whatever comes first. Play will resume tomorrow, August 16th at 5:30 p.m. EST with the combined field from all three flights, and the field will then play down to a winner, who will receive a WSOP Gold Bracelet on top of first-place prize money.
