Flight E Entries:  221

The entry count quickly jumped over 200 after the first 30 minutes and there’s a quick-moving line at the registration desk of players trying to join the big field.

Michael Wang was an early entrant after migrating south to a warmer climate. The 2015 WSOP $5K bracelet winner flew into town from New Jersey but not before adding another trophy to his case. Three days ago, Wang won the Borgata Fall Poker Open Purple Chip Bounty tournament for a few RRPO buy-ins.

Without much ado, tournament staff put cards in the air for Flight E of RRPO Event 1. There are already 134 entries at the start and the anticipation of a big day seems to be coming true.

Players will make their way through the first four levels of the day before taking a 15-minute break.

Level 1:  100/100

The 2019 RRPO series is heading into its first weekend and we expect huge crowds in the building trying to win a piece of the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool in Event 1. They are halfway through the starting flights with four more remaining; nearly 1,600 entries are already in the game and that number will explode in the next two days.

Entrants will start with 20,000 deep stacks and all Day 1 levels will last 30 minutes, increasing to 40 minutes on Day 2. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 3:30 pm and unlimited re-entries options are available during that time. Flight E will continue its day until it reached the end of Level 14. At that point, anyone remaining with chips will bag them up for a Day 2 return on Sunday at noon.

It will be a big day in the Seminole Ballroom as Flight E gets underway at 11 am.
