Main Event Day 1A: WTPDeepStacks Time

$1,100 WPTDeepStacks Main Event
Level 1: 50/100

2016 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts WPTDeepStacks Champion Salomon Ponte

The time has come to roll out the big game on the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open schedule and we are ready to kick off the $1 Million Guarantee WPTDeepStacks Main Event in the ballroom.

Last year’s WPTDeepStacks was a big one for both the series and the tour itself when it drew 1,684 entries to create the biggest tournament field in the tour’s history. They combined to easily surpass that $1 million guaranteed prize pool and Salomon “HashtagKing” Ponte was the surprise champion after conquering a tough final table.

The ballroom will fill up with locals, amateurs, and pros from around the country aiming to make the live-stream final table on Tuesday afternoon.

Today is the first of three starting flights and all survivors will gather as one on Sunday to begin the process of playing down to a champion.

Each entrant will sit down to a 25,000 starting stack and the tournament will run 40-minute levels throughout. Late registration is open until the start of Level 10 at 7:30pm after dinner break and players have a single re-entry option per flight during that time. The flight will come to an end after Level 15 and those with chips will bag up for a return on Sunday for Day 2.

Cards fly at noon and we’ll be here with updates throughout the day.
