partypoker Ambassador Kristen Bicknell Yesterday's WPT500 action began with the final of nine opening flights. The lofty $1 million guarantee was already met before the flight began and the field grew to 2,420 entrants to generate a $1,211,000 prize pool by the time late registration was closed. Day 2 began shortly after the conclusion of Day 1h with 361 players advancing to Day 2 with at least a min-cash in their pocket worth $1,086. Manuel Ruivo began the day with the chip lead but was unable to parlay this into a final table appearance after bowing out in 63rd place for $2,362. Four partypoker Ambassadors advanced to Day 2 but none found their way to the final table.
