Title Event Reaches $1.5 Million Guarantee in Final Flight

Flight J Level 3 . Ante 300 . Blinds 200.300 . Entries 126

Did anyone actually think that we would get overlay here at TCH Dallas for the inaugural PokerAtlas Tour $1,500,000 Guarantee $1,000 Title Event?

Labor Day is a tough sell for any large tournament, but Texas is a big draw. And as we know, everything is bigger in Texas. The PokerAtlas staff took an aggressive line by putting $1.5 million on a guarantee, and it paid off.

Sure, the chance of overlaying is an exciting prospect for the players out there; but is anybody mad about even more money up for grabs? We didn’t think so.

Touching on the numbers, we entered today with 1,150 entries, needing 1,687 to meet the tournament’s guarantee. The 11 a.m. Flight I added 410 entries, bringing the total up 1,560, and we just passed the mark in the final moments of Level 2 during Flight J.

The scoreboard continues to rise, now displaying 126 entries for Flight J and an unofficial 1,693 for the tournament.

Registration is open for another seven levels plus breaks, closing at 9:15 tonight when Level 10 begins. The sky is the limit now — good luck to everyone in contention.
