Day 1b of Event 64: $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold’em Begins at 5 p.m.

Event 64: $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold’em is back for Day 1b. Always a popular choice among players, the tournament is all about the eights, with a buy-in of $888 and a prize of $888,888 going to the winner. In addition, tables are played 8-handed for the duration of the event.

In 2018, Galen Hall outlasted 8,597 entrants to take home the title, prize money and his first bracelet. With four starting flights to choose from, and unlimited re-entries throughout each of the day 1s, there are plenty of opportunities for would-be hopefuls to join Hall in the record books.

This year, players will receive 40,000 chips, up from the 8,000 starting stack in play in 2018. There are 19 30-minute levels on the clock and a 20-minute break at the end of every four levels. Late registration closes at the end of Level 12, around 12 a.m. All of this will be happening in Amazon Purple, here at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino.
