Defending Champion Linde May Not Defend His Title

Mike Patrick

Level 3

Late registration for this event is open until the start of level 10, so defending champion Dylan Linde will have until then to hop in.

However unless he opts to do some multi-room multi-tabling, that may not happen.

Linde currently has a healthy stack of almost 300,000 chips in Day 2abc of the Main Event, currently being played in the Bally's Event Center, while Day 1 of this event is across the building in the Paris Ballroom.

PokerNews will keep an eye on Linde's whereabouts and chip stack as the day progresses.
