Third and Final Starting Flight Almost Underway in Event #1: $560 NLH
The third and final starting flight of the Event #1: $560 NLH opening event at the bestbet Jacksonville Spring Series is scheduled to get underway at noon EST.
Like the first two starting flights, players on Day 1c will begin with a stack of 20,000 chips and blinds of 100/200, with play being eight-handed. Levels will last 30 minutes with 15-minute breaks every three levels. Late registration will remain open until the start of Level 10 and players are allowed unlimited re-entries.
Also like the first two starting flights, Day 1c will stop when 12.5% of the field remains or at the tournament director's discretion. The third and final starting flight will take place at noon on Saturday.
Day 2 will take place on Sunday, April 24 as the remaining players from each starting flight battle it out and the final table will be live-streamed on bestbetLIVE.
Georgia's Brian Dumaplin bagged the chip lead in Day 1a with a stack of 424,000 to lead the 15 players who survived the day. On Day 1b, Florida's Matthew Sundberg bagged a slightly smaller stack, 403,000, to lead the 22 remaining Day 1b players.
The third starting flight will likely be the largest of the three after Day 1a attracted 114 runners and Day 1b had 175 entrants. While the prize pool has yet to be set, $138,720 has already been generated and awaits the players who make Day 2.
Earlier this year at the 2022 bestbet Jacksonville Winter Series Open, Daniel Kusnerak of Newton, North Carolina took down the $580 NLH opening event to earn $63,223.
In total, the bestbet Jacksonville Spring Series will feature seven tournaments and culminates with the $1,680 NLH Main Event, which will feature the ever-popular mystery bounties.
