FSPC Event #1 (Flight 1A): The 10th Anniversary Of The Florida State Poker Championships Is Officially Underway

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 1 (Blinds 100/100)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 14


Players began taking their seats in the tournament area just a short while ago, ready for the first hand of the 2018 Florida State Poker Championship to be dealt.  Event #1, which is a $175 No Limit Hold'em, boasts a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.  It's the tournament which sets the tone for the rest of the series, as it did last year, with over 1,590 entries (and an official prize pool of $223,160).

The tournament is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that will last (25) minutes over the course of the event.  Registration for each flight is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), meaning players have almost four hours to join the action.  Play is scheduled to conclude after Level 16, or when the 10% point is reached (players remaining), with those that bag returning on Monday (Day 2).  The chip lead bonus is back, as each flight leader with earn entry into Event #9, which is an $1,100 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD).  This tournament has adapted the single-ante format structure, which players will see on a majority of the events during this series.

Ralph Brandt made the rules announcements for the players in the Flight 1A field just moments ago, and the cards are now in the air for the 10th Anniversary Florida State Poker Championship.
