Today is the second of nine starting flights for WPT500 Las Vegas, with a $565 buy-in and a guaranteed prizepool worth $1 million. Registration remains open with unlimited re-entry until the beginning of Level 9, around 3:30 pm.

Players begin with 15,000 in chips, and the opening blinds are 25-50. The first eight levels will be 30 minutes, increasing to 40 minutes after that. The final 12.5% of each starting flight will finish in the money, and the final 5% will advance to Day 2.

Everyone is seated and ready to go, so it’s time to shuffle up and deal!
