"$1,100 NLH Single-Ante $200,000 GTD" (Flight 1A): The Moment We've All Been Waiting For, $1,000 Single-Ante Begins

$1,100 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante
$200,000 Guaranteed
Level 1 (Blinds 100/100)
Total Flight 1A Entries: N/A

After the overwhelming success of last week's $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD), players immediately looked towards the next "special event" on the schedule, which begins momentarily.  The $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante ($200,000 GTD) is the first multi-day tournament to use the single-ante format, after introducing the structure variation back in August (to the Florida poker community). 

The tournament has three starting flights over the next three day's, with players that bag returning to Sunday for Day 2.  With the many satellites still available for the tournament, players should take note of the starting times for the opening flights.  Today's Flight 1A begins at 2:00pm, with tomorrow's Flight 1B beginning at the same time, and Saturday's Flight 1C moving to 1:00pm.  The event is structured with starting stacks of 30,000 units, and levels that last (40) minutes from Level 1-14.  After Level 14, which is when Day 2 is scheduled to begin, the levels will transition to (50) minutes.  Registration for each flight is open through Level 8, and the dinner break that follows...which means players can join the action until just before 8:30pm.

There will not be live blogged coverage of the event, but followers of the blog can check back each day to see official numbers from the flights, along with official chip counts.  After the conclusion of Saturday's Flight 1C, the Day 2 seating assignments will also be updated on the blog (and Twitter).  Big things are expected for this tournament, so we will try and bring as much information as possible when the tournament reaches it's final stages.
