Get ready for a busy day as there are two starting flights today with Day 1c scheduled to start at 11 a.m. and Day 1d kicking off at 5 p.m. local time in the MGM Grand Ballroom on the 2nd floor of the hotel lobby of the MGM National Harbor. The first event of the inaugural Potomac Winter Poker Open features a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000 and has already attracted 374 entries over the first two starting days out of six in total. Out of those 374 entries, 29 players have made it through to Day 2 on Sunday, February 9.

Currently it’s Patrick Dewey who has the overall chip lead with 594,000 in chips which he collected on Day 1b. He is trailed Michael Lisman (536,000), Day 1a chip leader Daniel Araya (529,000), Andrew Chang (520,000), and Waleed Mian with 442,000 in chips.

Players will get 25,000 in chips for their $400 buy-in and play 30-minute levels throughout the day. The late registration period will remain open until the start of Level 12 and 15-minute breaks are to take place after Levels 4, 7, and 11. For Day 1c there will be a one-hour dinner break after Level 14 whereas it will be a normal 15-minute break for Day 1d. 12% of the field will get into the money but play will continue until 8% of the field is left. Everyone who cashes on Day 1 is guaranteed to cash for $550.

Day 2 will begin at the shortest time played in any of the six starting flights and is currently standing at the start of Level 18. Level duration will increase to 45 minutes on Day 2 until the final table has been reached. Level duration will then increase to 60 minutes with play continuing until a winner has been found.

PokerNews will be there from the start of Day 1c, follow all the action until the end and then switch the coverage to Day 1d so loads of action to be seen right here until the late hours of the night!
