Welcome to Day 1c of the Caribbean Poker Party Festival $1,100 MILLIONS Open
Day 1c of the Caribbean Poker Party Festival $1,100 buy-in MILLIONS Open begins at noon local time at The Level at Melia Caribe Tropical in beautiful Punta Cana. There have been 133 entries thus far and Barny Boatman, having bagged a massive stack of 7,413,000 at the conclusion of Day 1a, leads the 73 survivors.
Play on Day 1c will consist of eight 60-minute levels with 20-minute breaks every two levels. There is no scheduled dinner break. Late entry and re-entry will be available until the start of level 12 on Day 2, which will begin at noon on Sunday.
It is noteworthy that the structure for each event in this tournament series utilizes button antes. Instead of each player at the table posting an ante every hand, the button posts the only ante at the table. From level 2 onward, the button ante is equal to the big blind. Blinds start at 2,500/5,000 with a 2,500-chip button ante.
