Players Ready for WPT India Day 1b
It's going to be a busy day here aboard the Deltin Royale for Day 1b of the WPT India Main Event. After 270 entrants yesterday, two flights today look likely to break the mark of 527 players set last year. And potentially before the Day 1c flight gets underway later this evening.
Yesterday just 85 players got through, with NJ Naranjan bagging close to 300,000. Joining him in Day 2 is bracelet winner Aditya Sushant and Adda52 Team Pro Amit Jain.
The cards are in the air from midday on Day 1b, with plenty of new players expected - as well as those re-entering after busting Day 1a. Players are allowed one entry per flight if needed, so anyone busting from Day 1b will look to enter Day 1c which has 20-minute levels.
Here is the schedule for this year's Main Event:
Day | Date | Time | Levels |
---|---|---|---|
Day 1a | Friday, November 16 | 3:00 pm | 13 x 40 min |
Day 1b | Saturday, November 17 | 12:00 pm | 13 x 40 min |
