Tournament organizers are keeping the registration for this event open up until 1:30 pm on Tuesday afternoon to accommodate bust-outs from the WSOP main event. The strategy paid off on Monday, as approximately 60 more players signed up to play on Day 2 of the event.
According to Phil Hellmuth, Chris “Jesus” Ferguson and Phil Ivey are both planning on showing up to play on Tuesday afternoon.
Prize pool information for the Bellagio Cup VI is still not known as of yet, due to the fact that registration is still open.
