Welcome to Day 1E of Event #4: $500K GTD
The Day 1 starting flights for Event #4: $400 NLH $500,000 Guaranteed will conclude today at The Lodge Poker Club here in Round Rock, Texas. The previous flights have accumulated 819 entries, having 100 find a bag for the second day, and leading the way is Day 1d qualifier Eider Da Cruz with a hefty 506,000 stack.
Day 1e and Day 1f will be the last chance for anyone to climb aboard the Day 2 train. Anyone who has bagged more than once by the start of Day 2 will receive a $600 stack bonus for each additional bag, carrying their highest-valued bag into the second day.
All players will begin with 20,000 in chips to start the day, on blinds of 100/100 which will increase every 30-minutes. Late registration will remain open until the start of Level 9, with unlimited re-entries during that time.
A bigger field means more survivors, but the number is still set at the top 12% advancing from each flight. Those survivors then bag up for Day 2 which will begin on Sunday, May 8, at 2 p.m. where they will be guaranteed at least a min-cash.
As always, the PokerNews live reporting team will be bringing all of the updates, so stay tuned as the action unfolds.
