€1,100 FPS Main Event
Day 1d Started
The fourth and final flight of €1,100 FPS Main Event is slated to begin at 7 p.m. local time at the PokerStars European Poker Tour presented by Monte-Carlo Casino. Flight 1d was originally expected to start at 6 p.m. but has been pushed back by one hour in order to make room in the tournament areas due to larger than expected fields.
There are currently around 1,500 total entries through the first three flights, with registration still open for Day 1c. There were 55 players who bagged chips on Day 1a and another 41 advancing through Day 1b. Those that fortunate to make it through to Day 2 on April 30 will all be guaranteed a min-cash, the prize amount still to be determined. Either way, the eventual winner will be walking away with a nice payday as the prizepool has already surpassed the €1.5 million mark.
Because of the late start time for Day 1d and the quick turnaround time for Day 2, the final flight will be played as a turbo format with just 20-minute blind levels. Each player will be given a starting stack of 30,000 chips with the blinds starting at 100/100 and a 100 big blind ante.
There will be 15-minute breaks after every five levels with no dinner break taking place. Late registration for this event will officially be closed at the end of level 10. The players will continue throughout the night until just 15% of the field remains and the money bubble is burst. Day 2 will kick off at 12 p.m. noon tomorrow with the champion being crowned on Day 4.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the tournament floor to bring you all of the live updates throughout the event, en route to crowning an eventual champion.
