WPT500 Returns for Second Season

Hello, and welcome to the second installment of the partypoker Presents: WPT500 at ARIA Resort & Casino!

Last year’s inaugural event drew 3,599 entries to make it the largest event in WPT history. The six starting flights generated a prize pool of almost $1.8 million with Sean Yu collecting the winner’s share of $260,000.

This year’s $565 WPT500 event features a guaranteed prize pool of at least $2 million. There are a total of 10 Day 1 flights for this event, with three over the next three days to open the tournament up. A full schedule of the remaining flights can be found under the Tournament Information tab.

Players who are eliminated from a starting flight are allowed one re-entry per day (prior to the close of Level 8) or can try again the following day.

Cards will get in the air at 12:00 p.m. today and you can follow along here for all the coverage.
