Tournament staff have just made the opening announcements for Day 1A of the WPT500, Event #1 in the 2018 WPT Montreal! This is the first of 7 total Live Day 1s in the event, and follows 3 Online Day 1s that were held from Sunday to Tuesday this week.
Action is now underway and just 6 minutes into level 1, there are already 103 players seated. Late registration continues until the beginning of level 11 – so there’s still plenty of time for the field to grow throughout the day. This is a single re-entry event, meaning that 1 entry and 1 re-entry are permitted per Day 1 – and with a prize pool guaranteed at $1,000,000, there’s definitely enough value to warrant a few buy-ins per player – if they need them!
There are already 45 players qualified for Day 2 in the event through the Online Day 1s, and everyone in the field today will be vying to join them – or to come back and try again in a later Day 1.
Good luck to everyone in the field today, and throughout the WPT500.
