Welcome to the $360 MSPT Golden Gates Regional Event
The $360 MSPT Golden Gates Regional Event gets underway at noon local time with the first of four starting flights.
The last MSPT Regional event at Golden Gates was back in April and it drew a total of 778 players. Poker professional Aaron Frei claimed the title and $36,968 after a three-way chop.
This two-day event features a $150,000 guarantee in the prize pool and a starting stack of 20,000. Levels will be of 30 minutes and there will be a 10-minute break every four levels. Late registration and re-entries will remain available until the start of Level 13.
Day 1a will play down to approximately 12% of the field or until 15 levels have been played and the other three starting flights will stop at exactly the same spot, in accord with the tournament clock, that Day 1a ended.
Players who bag at the end of a flight are not allowed to play a future flight unless they forfeit their stack. Ante will come from the Big Blind only but the tournament will transition from Big Blind Ante to Standard Ante when 27 players remain.
The survivors of all four flights will combine for Day 2 on November 17 at noon local time to continue to battle it out.
