With the deep stack and large field this event could certainly pass for a main event warm up. Jeff Gross, for one, sure seems to think so.
Up over 30k in #wsop51 monster stack tourney... Started at 11pm tonight this feels like a good warm up for the main!Follow @Jgross5

Registrants have been assured that everyone will be seated by 10:40 p.m., as the first flight will have bagged and tagged by then. Tournament Director Jack Effel was sure to thank everyone for their patience and reminded them what a huge undertaking running a tournament like this is.
Besides delays for the players, all else seems to be going well and we will provide updates once the field size is cemented and the prize pool determined.
