Day 1c Of The $3,300 Main Event Kicks Off At Noon
It's time for the 2023 Merit Poker Retro Series $3,300 Main Event at the Merit Crystal Cove Hotel and Casino! While Damir Zhugralin was crowned in the $10,500 High Roller on Saturday, August 12th, a total of 418 entries were registered on Day 1a of the Main Event. Out of this impressive number, 179 players qualified for Day 2, with Bahram Sakettaromsari as the chipleader with 805,000 chips.
The day after, 123 more players out of 286 entrants put chips in their bags, led by Abdallah Jamal Eddine and his 842,500 chips. But for those who didn't qualify yet, they still have time as there are three more possibilities to do so. The first one starts at noon with Day 1c. With 60-minute levels and starting with 100,000 chips, players will have to reach the end of Level 9 to advance to Day 2. They'll start at 200/500 with a BB ante of 500 and have a break every two levels.
Then, the last flight will start at 7:00 p.m. with 25-minute levels. Finally, there will be five more levels to jump into the tournament on Day 2, as late registration will close after fourteen levels of play. As usual, reentries are unlimited, so players have as many chances as they want to build a stack and try to win this $3,000,000 guaranteed Main Event.
