Day 1A of the Foxwoods Main Event Kicks off at 12 PM

The tenth of twelve Foxwoods ring events begins today at 12:00 noon. The $1,675 Main Event offers players a 20,000 starting stack, and 40-minute levels on Day 1. All players are allowed a single re-renty for each of the two starting flights, so if necessary, a player may buy in up to four times over the two starting days.  

Last year's Main Event at Foxwoods attracted a field of 460 entries, and generated a prizepool of $690,000. Julian Sacks of New Jersey took home the top honors, his first World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit ring, and $148,350.

Samuel Taylor of New York, NY took home top honors the year prior (2015/2016), along with $149,020.

Taylor has been spotted this series making deep runs once again. Prior to the start of this event, Taylor has cashed in three of the first nine ring event. It's most likely that he will also make an appearance for the Main Event.

In addition to the cash prize, there is also a seat into the Global Casino Championship up for grabs for the winner of the Foxwoods Main Event.  This seat allows the recipient to play in the $1 million guaranteed prizepool WSOP bracelet event held each year at the end of the Circuit season in August. 
Flight A begins today at noon. Any player that does not make it through to Day 2 from this first flight has another chance in tomorrow's Flight B, also at noon.
