Welcome to the 2019 PokerNews Cup High Roller Day 1b
The second flight of the 2019 PokerNews Cup High Roller is getting close to its start, with around half an hour remaining before the cards are up in the air. Finix Casino is waiting for the players, while a super satellite is taking place now, giving two tickets for the High Roller.
Besides Day 1b and the current satellite, there is another satellite scheduled for today at 7 p.m. and this one is giving five tickets guaranteed for the Main Event.
Yesterday, there were 28 entries in the High Roller with one re-entry among them and 12 players advanced to Day 2. Those that busted are the candidates for today's field and anyone else who will travel here to take part in the action.
Ivan Ivanov from Bulgaria was the player who managed to collect most of the chips with 631,500 after Day 1a, and all the players who will participate today will have to surpass this stack if they want to have better chances for a big prize.
Day 1b consists of ten levels of 45 minutes each and the structure is:
| Level | Small blind | Big blind | Ante |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100 | 200 | 200 |
| 2 | 200 | 400 | 400 |
| 3 | 300 | 600 | 600 |
| 4 | 400 | 800 | 800 |
