Registration closes in Day 2A of the @WSOP $1,700 Monster Stack with an unofficial 1,807 entries.

[Kevin Mathers @Kevmath]

No. If you finish with chips in a flight, you can play no further

[pokerperc @pokerperc]

@Kevmath where are rules for the 250 online mystery bounty. Can you reg multiple flights and get chips added to day 2 stack?

[Ada❌ Fried❌an @AdamFriedman119]

Who can I buy a piece of in 10k stud hi and DC? I would like to help a young and upcoming player get over the top in one of those events, like @scott_seiver @tsarrast

[Kevin Mathers @Kevmath]

@pokerperc Tough , but fair.

I’m sure most who mistakenly registered for 2A didn’t want to start with 20 BBs

[Kevin Mathers @Kevmath]

If you’re registering for the Monster Stack, be sure you know what flight you’re wanting to play.

If you want to play Day 1B, you’re in the Horseshoe Grand Ballroom with blinds at 100/100/100 in Level 1

If you want to play Day 2A, you get 50,000 chips at 1,000/2,500/2,500 at Level 11 and will be in Paris Yellow or Black, starting at 11am

[Kevin Mathers @Kevmath]

For those that care about this sort of thing, the WSOP rule on 4-card flops

Of course

[Kevin Shipp @Shipper57]

@Kevmath just wondering is Run Good and MSPT apparel ok to wear?
Thanks

[Kevin Mathers @Kevmath]

@PokerArbitrator That’s probably why the fields will be much bigger for Day 1C and 1D

[Kevin Mathers @Kevmath]

No.

[Drew @Andrew_Thomas_B]

@Kevmath do you think they would ever change the WSOP Main to start on July 5th for Day 1a? I feel like the beginning of July is crammed with events/sattys and a holiday. I think more working people/family recs would be more likely to go right after July 4th. Am I crazy? @WSOP

[Kevin Mathers @Kevmath]

Every Wednesday at 3pm is a $250 HORSE Deepstack

[SportsCardWalt @theCardManiac]

@Kevmath is there any chance there is another daily deepstack thats HORSE in the next week or is it a very rare occurrence. Thx much

[Kevin Mathers @Kevmath]

Day 1B of the @WSOP $1,500 NL Monster Stack starts at 10am in the Horseshoe Grand Ballroom.
Late registration/1 re-entry each flight for 11 levels (~12:15pm Friday)

If you played Day 1A and bagged, you’re playing Day 2A at 11am today in Paris Black and Yellow. Late registration and re-entry (if available) through the start of Level 12 (~12:15pm)

[Kevin Mathers @Kevmath]

That’s why there’s 4 Day 1’s, plus late registration into Day 2ABC and Day 2.

[Drew @Andrew_Thomas_B]

@Kevmath Kind of makes no sense, especially bc they want to move the FT back even more. I feel like this industry never takes into account the non-degenerate market that doesn’t play bc of the schedule WSOP comes up with. Could be losing out on thousands of players potentially

[Kevin Mathers @Kevmath]

If you are among the 632 players (plus those late registering Day 2A of the @WSOP $1,500 Monster Stack)

Be sure you’ve checked the ‘Show Restarts’ box to better find your seat assignment

11am Day 1B Monster Stack - Paris Black and Yellow. Yellow is across from the main Paris tournament area.

12pm $1,700 US Circuit Championship Day 3 - Paris Gold

1pm $10,000 GG Million$ Day 4 - Final Table area

1pm $10,000 NL 2-7 Day 3 - Paris Gold

Some had reported issues with Certegy, don’t know if that’s continued

[King @kingbookieburna]

@Kevmath have you heard of any issues yet regarding ACH? No declines or holds or slow transactions causing ppl to have to wait on the $ before getting to reg for a tourney? Thanks!

[Kevin Mathers @Kevmath]

What Derek said. You have 2 total entries for the first 11 levels in each Flight (A, B, C, D)

[Derek Kwan @kwansfull]

@msalsberg @brianchastings @Kevmath 2 per day, day 2s count as a day, I think there are 4 days? So 8

[Kevin Mathers @Kevmath]

@_BountyBob_ @AlexPwndidi @galenhall Assuming you mean the $25k High Roller, Galen got confirmation from the floor it was a max of 6 entries. (2 on Day 1A, 2 on 1B, 2 on Day 2)
