“Congratulations, you are now in the money!” – these are the words players love to hear, and our tournament director has just spoken then as the WPT500 field was reduced to 323 runners, officially entering the payouts.
With the event split across 2 poker halls, the tournament director started hand-for-hand when the field reached 325 players. It only took one hand to find the 2 required eliminations, with Mark A and Stephane Edme as the unfortunate two eliminated prior to the payouts.
Action is back underway now with all 323 players having secured a payout of at least $920.
Congratulations!
