Welcome to Day 1c of Event #4: $500 The Reunion No-Limit Hold'em
The 2021 World Series of Poker is looking forward to a packed day at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino as the third and final starting day of Event #4: $500 The Reunion No-Limit Hold'em is scheduled to kick off at 10 a.m. local time. As one of the highlight tournaments of the festival, it carries a $5 million guarantee and certainly attracts thousands of poker enthusiasts from all over the world.
Throughout the first two starting days, the low-stakes competition has already attracted 7,104 total entries and is getting ready for another strong turnout with three rooms in play: Brasilia, Pavilion and Amazon. So far, 333 players have bagged and tagged chips for Day 2 on Monday, October 4, 2021, and they will be joined by the Day 1c survivors.
As has been the case for the first two flights as well, all players start with 50,000 in chips and all levels today will last 30 minutes each. The late registration period is open for the first ten levels and the following break until approximately 4 p.m. local time. Every four levels there will be a 20-minute break and a 90-minute dinner break is scheduled after the conclusion of level 14 at approximately 6 p.m. local time.
Day 1c will play a total of 22 levels or down to the final 15% of the field, whichever of the two comes latest. Players who have previously cashed in one of the first two starting days can take another shot at running up a stack for Day 2 and another WSOP cash.
The chip leader so far is Robert Brobyn with a massive stack of 5,015,000, followed by Jon Lindquist (3,625,000), and Day 1a crusher Dave Alfa (3,070,000). Whether or not anyone will be able to surpass the trio atop the leaderboard remains to be seen.
