The final three hands wrapped up in a flash. With no late-night drama to slow them down, the surviving players wasted no time pulling out their plastic bags to secure their hard-earned stacks for Day 2.

The tournament director has officially paused the clock and announced that only three hands remain for the night.

Once these final three hands are dealt, the surviving players will count down, secure, and bag up their chips, booking their tickets to Day 2.

This is the last chance for the remaining players to accumulate chips, survive the final 60 minutes, and successfully secure a bag for Day 2.

The one-hour dinner break has wrapped up, and players are back in their seats to finish out the final four levels of the night.

The field size has bumped up to 140 total entries, with 84 players currently in action as the late registration numbers keep ticking upward.

The field has officially cleared out as the 60-minute dinner break gets underway, giving players a well-deserved chance to step away from the tables and grab a bite.

Once the hour wraps up, everyone will return for the final stretch of the night, grinding through four more levels (another four hours of play) before bagging up chips for the evening.

The field has already surpassed 125 entries with only half of today's registration periods complete.

The schedule includes a 60-minute dinner break following the conclusion of Level 6, which will take place at approximately 6:30 PM local time.

The initial slow start has completely turned around. The field has jumped to 40 total entries, with 36 players currently in their seats as the tables continue to fill up.

With late registration staying open all day, that number is expected to keep climbing steadily.

Cards are in the air for Day 1A of the Red Dragon Plus Championship. The first hands have been dealt, with 10 players already seated and in action.

Late registration will remain open throughout the entire day, providing late arrivals with ample opportunity to join the field and secure a starting stack.
