Day 1a of the WSOP Circuit Harveys Lake Tahoe $1,700 Main Event Begins at Noon
The Main Event of the 2019 World Series of Poker Circuit Harveys Lake Tahoe series has arrived! The $1,700 Main Event kicks off today with the first of two Day 1 flights, and the cards will go in the air for Day 1a at 11 a.m. from Harveys Lake Tahoe.
The field is scheduled to play through 11 hours of poker today, structured as 40-minute levels though Level 15, and going up to a 60-minute level for Level 16, the final level of Day 1a. Players will get 15-minute breaks after every three levels, and a one-hour dinner break at the end of Level 9.
The blinds will start at 100/100, with a big blind ante kicking in at Level 2 (100/100/100). Players will start with 30,000 chips, and this event allows for one re-entry per player, per flight. Late registration will be open until the beginning of Level 13.
Last year's WSOPC Harveys Lake Tahoe Main Event drew 442 entries and amassed a total prize pool of $669,630. Scott Sanders came away with the win, taking home the first place prize of $147,314 and the WSOP Circuit ring.
This year's champion will not only take home what's likely to be a six-figure payday and a WSOP Circuit ring, but also a seat in the 2020 WSOP Global Players Championship.
On both Day 1a and Day 1b, play will continue through the end of Level 16, or when 16 percent of the field remains, whichever comes first.
