Not since 2017 has the historic Bay 101 Shooting Star operated under the World Poker Tour banner, and it also marked the first time the festival has run since 2020. Its long-awaited return has been a hit, drawing 672 entries for the marquee $5,300 Bay 101 Shooting Star Championship.
The series has been underway at Bay 101 Casino in San Jose, California, since October 17 and will conclude on November 2. The Championship event reached its halfway point on Sunday, as Day 2 ended with the bursting of the money bubble.
