Bond Bags Chip Lead of Title Event's First Flight

Written by Kyle M | Nov 7, 2025 6:42:11 AM

The first flight of PokerAtlas Tour's $500K GTD Title Event managed to bag on an early level of 1,500/2,500/2,500.

Bagging the chip lead is Matt Bond with over 250 big blinds. It will be hard for any upcoming flights to bag earlier than the first flight. So, Day Two will more than likely start at 1,500/2,500/2,500 with 00:42 on the clock.

Players will continue to play 40-minute levels until the final three tables. Blinds will increase to 60-minute levels at the final three tables.

Day Two players will play down to the final table of nine and return on Tuesday for the livestreamed final table at 6:00 PM.
