Day 1b will feature the same structure as yesterday's Day 1a. Players will start with 100,000 chips and play nine 60-minute levels. There will be a break after every two levels. Unlimited reentries and late registration will be available until the end of Level 14 on Day 2.

Those who bag and tag at the end of the night will join the survivors from yesterday's flight in advancing to Day 2 on March 24. Before that, there will be two more starting flights, with Day 1c beginning at noon local time on March 23 and a turbo Day 1d set to begin at 7:00 p.m. the same day.

Day 1a attracted a total of 186 entrants vying to take home the title and lion's share of the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. That number is expected to grow substantially starting today, with three more starting flights left to go.
