888poker ambassadors Lucia Navarro, Vivian Saliba and Alexandre Mantovani all managed to advance in yesterday's Day 1b flight. Fellow ambassadors and stream team members Ian Simpson, Nick Eastwood and Aaron Barone also played yesterday but fell short of finding a bag at the end of the night and are all likely to be taking another shot at Day 1c today.
Like the first two starting flights, players will start with 50,000 chips and play ten 45-minute levels. The blinds will start at 100/300 with a 300 big blind ante. A 15-minute break will occur after Level 3 while a 60-minute dinner break will take place after Level 6. The event features unlimited reentries and late registration will remain open until just before the first hand is dealt on Day 2, where the fields will combine on May 19.
As always, stay tuned to PokerNews as we bring you all the action from the moment cards are in the air until the final hand is dealt at the end of the night.
