| The "Battles At The Beach" series kicks off today, with two Event 1 starting flights on the schedule. |
The opening event of the 2016 Battles At The Beach was a smaller buy-in event ($75 No Limit Hold'em), but it attracted an impressive 1,191 entries (topping the $50,000 guarantee). This year's installment is a $175 buy-in, and is sure to eclipse the $125,000 guaranteed prize pool. The tournament structure has a "mid-major" feel, with a 20,000 starting stack, and (25) minute levels throughout the event.
Cards will be in the air momentarily for this opening flight, with live coverage to begin after players have time to settle in. It's going to be a great series, and you can look forward to live blogged coverage of the three "major events," along with all of the results from the side events.
