At long last, registration in the WPT500 has closed in the 10th and final starting flight in the event. There were a total of 286 entries (including 65 re-entries) in Day 1G, meaning that the full total over the 3 online and 7 live Day 1s was 2,536 – a very strong total that will add up to a prize pool that greatly surpasses the $1,000,000 prize pool that was guaranteed in the tournament.
The players in Day 1G are already down to their final few levels of play, which is set to wrap up at 2:15pm. Day 2, scheduled for 3:00pm, will likely get started a little bit later than that, but any delay won’t be too long.
