The late registration period of Day 1a of the WPT500 has closed with 393 entries to collect $196,500 to contribute to the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.

With several more flights to come over the next week, the tournament is well on its way to surpass the amount that has already been set aside for it.

There are currently 255 players left in the tournament and as the field plays down to the final 15%, at least 59 players need to remain to signal the end of the day.
