Welcome to Day 1a of the WSOPC UK £1,100 Main Event
For the first time since 2019, the World Series of Poker International Circuit is back in the UK at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham.
The stop features 12 championship bracelet events, including the WSOPC £1,100 Main Event, which is set to pay out a prize pool of £500,000 guaranteed.
The Main Event will feature two starting flights, Day 1a and Day 1b. Players who survive will make it through to Day 2 and the tournament will play down to a winner on Day 3.
Day 1a commences at 12:00 p.m. local time. Blinds start at 100/200 with a 200 ante and levels increase every 40 minutes. Players will receive 60,000 chips in exchange for their entry fee, meaning starting stacks are 300 big blinds deep. There will be a break every three levels.
Late registration is available until 18:45 and players can take advantage of a single reentry up until the end of level 8. Play continues until the end of level 12, at which point remaining players will bag up their chips.
The last time the WSOPC was held at Dusk Till Dawn, back in 2019, Andrey Veselov outlasted a field of 1,023 entries to win the £1,100 Main Event for £114,530. He cut a heads-up deal with Hasmukh Khodiyara, who finished second for £111,935.
Timothy Chung and Jack O'Neill were among those who made the final table. Other notable players, including top ranked Turkish player Orpen Kisacikoglu and UK pro Sam Grafton also made the money.
