$130 No Limit Hold’em Deep Stack
Level 1: 50/100
One of the premiere events of the Coco Poker Showdown, a $130 buy-in no limit hold’em deep stack event with a $25,000 guarantee, is underway. The monster starting stack paired with a monster guarantee is expected to draw a — you guessed it — monster field.
To accommodate the large player pool, the nearby Pavilion banquet space will house the majority of play this evening. Players begin with 16,000 in tournament chips and will log 20-minute levels throughout. Late registration/unlimited re-entry is available until the start of Level 10.
This is a one-day tournament expected to conclude during the early morning hours of Tuesday. We will update you again when registration closes and the prize pool is finalized.
Good luck, players!
