Main Event Day 1C: Last Chance to Join

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

Former WPT Champ Olivier Busquet advanced to Day 2

We’ve reached the final opening day of the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts WPTDeepStacks Main Event and it should be huge. We are only 176 entries away from topping the $1 million guaranteed prize pool and it shouldn’t take long to get there.

The first two flights drew a combined 855 entries with 151 booking a seat for Day 2 tomorrow at noon. Alex Foxen bagged the biggest stack in Flight A and that lead held after Flight B was complete. Plenty of big names made it through the long days including Olivier Busquet (pictured above), Kelly Minkin, Jake Bazeley, David Diaz, Steven Karp, defending champ Salomon Ponte, and Seminole Hard Rock Poker team members Jessica Dawley and Loni Harwood.

As with the first two flights, entrants today will sit down to 25,000 starting stacks and play 40-minute levels. Late registration is open until the start of Level 10 at 7:30pm following the dinner break. They will play six more levels after registration is closed and survivors will bag up their chips at the end of Level 15.

We expect a busy day in the ballroom and will be here throughout the day with updates.
