Day 1G, the last starting flight with full 30 minute blind levels, has just begun! There are so far 70 players seated at the tables and more players are entering the room minute by minute.

There are two more starting flights left to play today, Day 1G starting just now at 5:00pm, and the final starting flight, Day 1H Turbo, starts tonight at 10:00pm.

This WPT500 has already gathered 1,671 entries through five online flights and six 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 9:30pm on Day 1G. 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!
