Commerce Casino kicked of its exclusive $335 buy-in $1 Million Guaranteed Tournament in L.A. yesterday.
A total of 529 players bought into the unusually structured No-Limit Hold’em tournament which will see five starting days from July 20-July 24.
Each starting day will see the field reduced to 27 players before calling it a night.
If a player busts early they are allowed to re-enter on any of the following starting days. With the format a player could potentially cash five times in the tournament.
Once all the starting days are complete the remaining 135 players will reconvene on Sunday, July 25, at 2 p.m. to play down to a winner. It’s likely first place will pay out over $200,000.
Day 1a of the event saw several notable poker pros make their way into the final 27 including “Miami” John Cernuto, Tony Ma and Young Phan.
