WSOP Extending Late Registration

[user235800]

Niveau 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

The structure sheet for this event details late registration open through to the end of Level 6 (approximately 9:45 p.m.), but the WSOP have decided to alter this today.

Keeping with the uniformity of other $1,500 buy-in events having eight levels of late registration, the WSOP decided that this event shouldn't be unique, but should follows the structure of other $1,500 buy-in events.

Consequently, late registration has now been extended through the completion of Level 8, and the break — approximately 12 a.m. (PDT).
