"I’m going to put everyone in that is going to come"- Jack Effel on the Big 50

Jun 01, 2019

Jack Eiffel discusses the popularity, hits and misses of the 2019 World Series of Poker “Big 50” Event. With Day 1a hitting over 6000 entries, comparable numbers on Day 1b, and Day 1c sold out, players have only one flight left to play this historic event. However, no need to panic. Effel encourages anyone who wants to come on out and play Day 1d. He tells PokerNews’ Sasha Salinger “I’m going to put everyone in that is going to come.” While there was some chaos, all in all Eiffel is proud of his staff and how they’ve handled these massive numbers at the World Series of Poker opening weekend. The World Series of Poker “Big 50” Event is a $500 buy-in event with a guaranteed first place prize of $1 million.
