Level 1 (50/100)

The pre-tournament announcements have been made and the Borgata Poker Player’s Series is officially underway, as the cards have just gotten in the air for Day 1A of the BPPS $100,000 GTD.

This event will see players start with 30,000 in tournament chips and will have a three day structure, with two starting flights running both today and tomorrow. Day 1 sessions will see players play 12 levels with each level lasting 45 minutes in length, with an increase to hour long levels coming in Day 2 and 3.

Late registration and unlimited re-entry will be available through the end of Level 6, giving players plenty of time to get into the BPPS action. With two starting flights, it should be noted that this event is NOT a best stack forward event. That means that any player who bags chips in Day 1A, will automatically forfeit those chips if they play in the Day 1B session.

There will also be NO dinner break during either Day 1 flight, with play concluding around 9:30 PM. The BBPS blog will track this field up to that point, with coverage beginning as soon as the tournament tables begin to populate.
