Among the 79 satellite qualifiers, a few local players can be seen at the tables, including our STEP qualifiers.  Several of them qualified as much as six months ago and were eager to get into the action today.

Among them are Christine Park, Carlo Nini, Marc Saddik, Jean-Philippe Lehoux, Ivan Driard, Eric Ranger and Carlo Nini.  Through Step Satellites, players could qualify for the Main Event for as little as $90, or through Playground’s monthly leaderboard.  Click here to see the video collection featuring them.

There are presently 233 entries and late registration will be open until the beginning of level 5, at approximately 4:30pm.  Remember that this is a next-day re-entry event with a single entry permitted until the end of the late registration period, on each Day 1.  A player may play Day 1B even if they have survived Day 1A with chips.  However, if a player survived Day 1A and chooses to play Day 1B, their qualified stack from Day 1A will be forfeited with no possibility of recovery.
