The late registration period of Day 1g of the WPT500 Knockoutp has just closed with 810 entries of which 430 players are still left in the field.

All those entries added $405,000 to the prize pool which means that the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool has already been surpassed as $676,000 was collected during the earlier starting flights to get to a total of $1,081,000 with another turbo starting flight taking place on Monday, March 22 at 5:05 p.m. GMT.

Day 1g will end when 15% of the field is left which in this case is when there are 122 players remaining.

The Daily Legends tournaments at partypoker have proven to be hugely popular thanks to their player-friendly formats. partypoker has slashed the late registration period, limited re-entries, and devised a structure that allows players to head to bed at a reasonable time without turning the tournament into a crap shoot.

Now is the time to try out some of those Daily Legends tournaments because partypoker has launched its Legend of the Week promotion that adds $60,000 worth of value to its Daily Legends schedule every week.

Legend of the Week sees you earn points for playing in selected Daily Legends tournaments from Monday through Saturday. Points are awarded for playing the eligible tournaments, but you earn far more by reaching a final table or by going all the way and becoming a Daily Legends champion.

partypoker Ambassador Kristen Bicknell Excited by "Massive" WPT500 Prizepools

One player that was excitedly awaiting the WPT500 last weekend on partypoker was Kristen Bicknell.

Having locked up her seat from one of the daily Day 1 she patiently awaited Day 2 that took place last Monday where she finished in 80th place for $2,016.

WPT500 Comes to partypoker

After the success of the WPT Online Series in May 2020, and the WPT World Online Championships in September 2020, the WPT500 is yet another major festival from the World Poker Tour running on partypoker. Bicknell says that this is all down to the relationship the two brands have built together over the past 12 months.

"I think the relationship that WPT and partypoker has built is absolutely fantastic! I fully support both brands, as they are both leaders in the industry and put on well-run series that cater to every poker player out there."

The festival has two Main Events with multiple Day 1s offering players a slice of a $1,000,000 guarantee each time. Bicknell says she was looking forward to both but told us she preferred the non-PKO event taking place last weekend.

"PKO's are tons of fun and add a different element to the game, but I find that the typical vanilla events feel more like 'true' tournament poker to me."

Play the WPT500 on partypoker

Bicknell says that she thinks the WPT500 is going to generate some "massive" prize pools.

"With so many day 1's, the WPT500 is huge! The prize pools are going to be massive.

"So far, it seems like we have a mix of famous high stakes pro and low stakes satellite winners, which I think brings the best excitement to the game. It's certainly an event not to miss! I look forward to hopefully making it deep and seeing who else does."
