Michael Khan has emerged as the leader in the WPT500 following Online Day 1C, which was held yesterday evening on partypoker. The field of 76 entries played through 16 levels in the flight, and when the conclusion was reached, Michael had amassed an impressive 365,000 in chips to take to Day 2.
He will be joined by a few other players we’re familiar with who qualified through Day 1C, including Martin Raus (143,000), Samuel Chartier (107,000), and 2013 WPT Canadian Spring Champion Amir Babakhani (72,000), among many others – the qualifying field from Day 1C was a virtual who’s who of players who have had a great deal of success here at Playground in the past.
The WPT500 now moves into its Live phase, with Live Day 1A set to begin on Friday October 26 at 12:00pm. There will be a total of 7 Live starting flights in the event, so players will have plenty of opportunity to join the 45 people that have already qualified for Day 2.
