The Event 9 field continues to grow with 100 entries so far and it looks like the $250,000 guaranteed prize pool will be an easy path with late registration open today until 7:30pm and an entire flight going tomorrow.

We mentioned Cathy Josey earlier and we found another series champion in today’s field. David Moreno won the Deep Stack Turbo last night in a heads-up deal with Phil Hui. He walked away with more than $11,000 and is back in action this afternoon.

The clock hit noon and tournament staff kicked off Event 9 in the front of the Event Center. We had 45 entries at the start and added another dozen or so for a good kickoff.

Cathy Josey was in her seat from the first hand and she is freerolling the big buy-in tournament. We hosted a Ladies Brunch on Saturday followed by the Ladies Event later in the afternoon. Cathy Josey outlasted a tough final table to take the title and part of her prize included her seat in today’s $1,100 buy-in $250,000 Guarantee tournament.

Level 1: 100/100

The second of three new tournaments on the schedule kicks off at noon in the Event Center and it’s something a little different. Event 9 is a $1,100 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament with two starting days and a big Day 2 to play it out. The tournament has a $250,000 guaranteed prize pool and it should be a fine warmup to the WPT Poker Showdown Championship this weekend.

Players will sit down to 25,000 starting stacks and they get 40-minute levels all the way down to heads-up play. Late registration is available until the start of Level 10 at 7:30pm following a one-hour dinner break. The first flight will come to an end later this evening after Level 15 and survivors will bag up for a return on Wednesday for Day 2.

We should see a lot of talent in the Event Center this afternoon.
