The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand to capture all the action from that tournament as well as from two others – the $370 Opening Event (July 25-28) and $370 Large Stack Big Blind Ante (July 31-August 1).

Michael Truman Looking for Fourth PPO Title
When it comes to the PPO, no one has won more titles than Michael Truman, who this go-round will be looking for his fourth PPO victory.
It started back in 2017 when he won the $470 NLH 6-Max Bounty for $9,020. The following year, he won his second title after taking down Event #10: $1,120 NLH for $14,400, and four days later he got the hattrick when he won Event #14: $365 NLH for $6,903.
Outside of the PPO, Truman has had a great deal of success in MGM National Harbor’s recurring tournaments, so if home-field advantage exists in poker, he certainly has it.
Here’s a look at the 2019 PPO schedule:
