The timer is ticking down on level 7, as Day 1F enters the last hour of late registration and re-entries.

This flight has already put over 12 million in chips in play, with the help of 67 re-entries up to this point. There are still 308 players involved, out of 416 total entries. The early levels have been full of wild action, that put some huge three-bets and massive pots on display. Things will likely settle down following the end of the re-entry period, but they will only continue to heat up until then.

Here is a look at the action from level 6:

Play has just resumed in level 5, following the first break of the afternoon.

New players and re-entries keep rolling in, putting over 11 million in chips in play so far. The field has been bolstered by 39 re-entries, which shows that the players are ready and willing to fire multiple bullets to set up a deep run in this event.

The current chip leader, Jishant Sapra, had a great start to the day, running up a stack of nearly 400 big blinds.

Day 1F has just entered the fourth level of play, and the chips are flying. The players wasted no time getting off the starting line this afternoon, playing big pots right from the get go. The all-in cards were put to use early and often, resulting in 25 re-entries, and many more are sure to follow.

There are still nearly 300 players in their seats, out of 331 total entries, competing for the nearly 10 million in chips in play. The late registration and re-entry period will be open until 4:30pm.

Here is a look at the action from level 3:

Day 1F has just entered its second level of play, and it has already collected over 260 entries. With 7.5 million in chips in play at this early stage, Day 1F is shaping up to be the largest starting flight yet. And with good reason because today is the last chance for players to take part in this event.

The massive prize pool guarantee of $1,066,000 will ensure that many players walk away from this event with significant scores, along with a potentially life-changing cash for the eventual champion. Also, the top 20 finishers will receive entries to the $3,000 + $300 WPT Montreal Main Event. There is a lot of value to be had!

Late registration and unlimited re-entries for Day 1F will be available until 4:30pm. The last two starting flights, Day 1G and Day 1H Turbo, run later today at 5:00pm and 10:00pm, respectively.

There are three starting flights on tap today, starting with Day 1F at 12:00pm. Day 1G runs at 5:00pm, and the final starting flight, Day 1H Turbo, starts tonight at 10:00pm.

This massive event has already gathered 1,201 entries through five online flights and five live flights. So far, 169 players have advance stacks to Day 2, which will be held Monday, October 28 at 1:00pm. To see the combined Day 1 results, click here.

Each starting flight of the WPT500 starts players with stacks of 30,000 in chips to play through as many 30-minute levels as needed to reduce the field to one in seven entries, at which point the players will bag their chips for Day 2. Each Day 1 will play 10-handed and move to 9-handed play as soon as possible.  

The WPT500 is an unlimited re-entry event, with unlimited re-entries permitted until the beginning of the ninth level of play on each Day 1, which will arrive at 4:30pm on Day 1F. Players can enter multiple starting flights but only their largest stack can be used on Day 2; all other qualifying stacks will be forfeited, but players will receive the associated cash prize for any forfeited stacks. 

Good luck to all!
