They made it clear. You can only register for Day 1B until 2:20pm Tuesday. Then after that, for the next 24 hours, you can only register for Day 1C. After 2:20pm on Wednesday you can register for Day 1D. This is wise.
The mega-satellites were booming. The 10am $550 had about 200 entries. The 1pm $1K had over 600. They paid about 60 seats, The 4pm $550 had around 600 so it paid about 30 seats. Yanks and I played the 4pm. We both busted before it got interesting. My last hand: AA<AKs
But these are SO SOFT. I am playing the $1K tomorrow. I am also going to play it on Wednesday. This means that my original plan to play the ME on 1C has been scrubbed. I will play 1D instead, on Thursday.
Hit 4 deuces on a Deuces Wild Video Poker Machine as Yanks and I had an adult beverage after busting. Paid $250 on a quarter machine. Maybe it's an omen.
Pokernews has the field for Day 1A at 1125. We will see how close they are to the official number that comes out, and also see how many survive 9 hours of play. They play 3 Levels (twenty minute break between levels), then dinner break for 90 minutes, then 1.5 more Levels. Should end around 11pm tonight.
Levels are two hours long.
