It will be a busy day at the poker tables here at Casino Royale as two WSOPC Caribbean ring events are scheduled for today. As of 3.30 pm local time, Event #1 $250 NLHE will be playing down to a winner and there are 31 players still in contention out of a field of 216 total entries. The event certainly surpassed the expectations and narrowly missed out on reaching the money in the first 15 levels.
Half an hour later at 4pm local time, a turbo satellite for the second ring event will take place with levels of 10 minutes each and a buy-in of $70. The second ring event then gets underway at 6pm local time and features a buy-in of $400. Day 1 will consist of up to 14 levels of 30 minutes each but may stop prior to that if the final table is reached. All live updates will focus on the conclusion of Event #1 first and then switch over.
