$1,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts
Level 12: 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players Remaining: 567 of 1,573
The turnout for the 2021 WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship was nothing short of incredible. The two starting flights combined to put 1,573 entries in the game and pushed the $1,000,000 guarantee to over a $5,000,000 prize pool. That is good enough for our second-biggest WPT Championship in our history behind only the WPT Poker Showdown Championship in 2014.
Incredible.
We have 567 players returning today for Day 2 at noon and the Seminole Ballroom will be filled to capacity plus 14 tables restarting in the Poker Room. Those players will be pulled over to the ballroom as seating permits until everyone is back together.
Of all the players from around the world and country, it is Florida’s Art Peacock returning with the chip lead. His 426,500 is tops with David Lee (404,500), Matthew Stuff (385,500), Fares Santana (363,500), and Zhi Wu (346,500) filling out the top five.
Play is scheduled to last ten full levels on Day 2 with a break every two levels. The blinds start at 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 ante and the average stack is 111,000 (55 bb).
