Time’s Running Out to Enter the $400K Gtd WPT500 Online at WPT Global

$400,000 is guaranteed to be won in the $530 buy-in WPT500, part of WPT Global’s $8 Million Guaranteed New Spring Series Lunar Edition, but you need to act fast if you want to be in with a chance of securing a slice of that six-figure pot.

WPTG Trophy #28: WPT500 flights started last weekend and continue running until February 9. However, less than 18 flights remain between now and the one that shuffles up and deals at 5:00 a.m. ET on February 9. Day 2 of the $400,000 guaranteed WPT500 starts at 8:30 p.m. ET prompt on February 9, so you must act now if you have dreams and aspirations of becoming this event’s champion.

Remaining WPTG Trophy #28 WPT500 Schedule

WPT500 Day 1 players receive a 50,000 starting stack for their $530 buy-in, with late registration open for the first 14 levels. Those levels last 12 minutes (blind levels are reduced in the turbo, last chance, and final call flights), with blinds starting at 125/250.

Up to five re-entries are permitted per flight. Should you fire a bullet during the 14th level but before late registration closes, blinds will be 2,500/5,000, meaning you have ten big blinds to work with.

Each Day 1 ends when only 17% of the field remains or if the 23rd blind level is reached. Players with chips in front of them progress to Day 2 at 8:30 p.m. ET on February 9, when the $400,000+ prize pool can be won!

At the time of writing, 97 players had progressed to Day 2 of the WPT500, including WPT Global ambassadors Xuan “XXLiu” Liu and Patrick “Egption” Tardif. Liu turned her 50,000 starting stack into 483,000, while Tardif progressed with 112,000.

“StickySteve” is the current chip leader, having finished their flight with 936,000 chips. It looks like you’ll be the overall chip leader if you bag up 1,000,000 chips on your chosen flight.
