We’ve just heard our Tournament Director announce the traditional “Shuffle up and Deal” speach, and with that, this fourth flight to The Wild $150 is underway! This is the last chance to qualify for Day 2, and for those interested in coming down to join us, we will be taking late registrations until the end of the first break, which is at roughly 9:15pm.

The board is showing 165 entries at the moment, however there is still a steady flow of players making their way to the cashiers, and we should see today’s number rival, if not surpass, last night’s attendance of 341.

Good luck!

Final flight of The Wild $150

The guarantee was surpassed somewhere during Day 1C, but just how big will this prizepool grow to? Stay tuned to find out!

Late registration will remain open through the first 4 levels and the break, so until roughly 9:15pm. Do not miss your chance to participate in this event!

See you on the felts!
