Day 1h was the final starting flight of the WPT 500. When late registration came to a close, there were a total of 128 entries, which allowed for the top 18 players to bag and tag to head into Day 2.

Being a turbo format with 15 minute blind levels, the lead changed back and forth throughout the evening, and when it was all said and done, Jean-Francois Lescadres had the top stack with 416,500 chips. He was followed by Habib Rachidi Alaoui with 386,500 chips, and Raffi Ghazarian with 350,000. Jonathan B., who was the first break chip leader, had the fourth largest bag with 325,000.
