The Main Event Continues as Day 1b Gets Underway at 2pm

After an exciting day of poker at the Grand Casino Brussels Viage yesterday, it is time to do it all again. Today, sees the second of three starting flights kick off at 2 pm.

In the opening flight, Hugues Mazerolle topped the field after accumulating 248,000 chips. We will know by the end of tonight if anyone is able to eclipse that.

Day 1b follows the same structure as Day 1a. Levels will be 40 minutes long and a total of 12 will be played before survivors bag and tag for the night.

Breaks take place every two hours, at the end of every third level. There will also be an extended 60-minute dinner break at the end of Level 6 (around 6:30 pm).

At 10 pm, the final flight will begin. With a ‘Fast Chance’ format, blinds are reduced to 20-minutes long. There will still be one re-entry available to those who wish to use it. That makes a total of four opportunities to reach Day 2 and beyond.

As always, WPT.com is here to guide you through it all when play gets underway shortly.
