A HEARTFELT START TO THE DAY


There's 52 Valentine's cards in front of each table of @Gates_Poker players, pitched two per hand to @HPTpoker participants hoping to fall in love with what's in front of them as Day 1B starts up in this $1,650 Main Event.

30,000 stacks and 40-minute levels today, 1+1 registration available until a lovely dinner break comes to a close at the start of Level 10 (~7:30pm).

Yes, that says 1+1 registration - one buy-in and one re-entry only as HPT moves away from unlimited registration in 2020.

Day 1B comes to an end at about 11:45pm when Level 15 ends. All players with a live stack after 15 levels advances to Sunday's 11am Day 2 Final.

Thursday's 131-entry field was a great start to the weekend, and there's a BIG number out there for players to aim for. Last September's runner-up, Tan Hoang, bagged an 871,000 stack - the largest I have seen in my seven years covering HPT events and I can't find one larger by going back through the archives either.

Level - 1
Ante - 0
Blinds - 100/300
Entries - 43
