Event 1 Flight C: Next Big Step

$400 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$2,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 1:  100/100

We have another two flights of our opening RRPO tournament with Flight C getting underway at 10 am and D at 5 pm. Both will put the $400 Deep Stack closer to reaching its $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool with a ton of players expected this weekend.

They’ll start with 20K in their stacks and all Day 1 levels last 30 minutes, increasing to 40 at the start of Day 2 and 60 minutes in Level 24. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 9 at 2:30 pm.

Flight C will play down to the last 10% of the field and survivors will return on Sunday at 1 pm for Day 2.

We have some added value in this tournament in the form of Club WPT Gold Passports. One will be awarded to the Day 2 returning chip leader and the nine players at the final table. The passport is good for an entry into their $5 Million Freeroll, which takes place at Wynn Las Vegas on Dec 13-15, 2024.

Meir Meystel

Turns out hand-for-hand was not needed today in Flight A; with 51 players remaining and dealers told to hold up their action, we lost a player on Table 11 on their last hand to put the rest of the field in the money.

Meir Meystel made a late surge and bagged a huge lead with 857,000. It looks like a lot of them came from Chris Lewis who dipped under 300K in the last level. He finished with more than double of second-place Roberto Bendeck’s 413,000.

With such a big stack sitting in his bag, Meystel is the early front-runner to earn the Club WPT Gold Passport awarded to the returning Day 2 chip leader. He is in the clubhouse with a healthy lead and could walk away with an entry to the Club WPT $5,000,000 freeroll in Las Vegas in December.

We will post the full chip count list later this evening.

  1. Meir Meystel – 857,000 (143 bb)
  2. Roberto Bendeck – 413,000 (69 bb)
  3. Marc Sacheli – 394,000 (66 bb)

After a long early evening grind, Flight A is nearing its money bubble with 60 players remaining and 50 advancing to Day 2. They will go into hand-for-hand mode when 51 players remain and continue until the bubble is burst.

Chris Lewis looks like the current leader with 490,000 but tough tablemate Noah Schwartz is lurking close by with a big stack.

Flight B of RRPO Event 1 gets underway at 5 pm and we look to build on a great start to the series. The $400 Deep Stack has a $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool and will be one of the biggest (if not the biggest) fields we sport all year.

They’ll sit down to 20,000 in their stacks and all Day 1 levels last 30 minutes, going up to 40 at the start of Day 2 and 60 minutes when they reach Level 24. Late registration is available until 5:30 pm and they may re-enter as often as they wish during that time.

Flight B will play down the last 10% of the field and those with chips will bag them for a Day 2 return on Sunday at 1 pm.

  • Club WPT Gold Passport will be awarded for the overall chip leader at the start of Day 2 and to the final 9 players at the final table
