Well over 100 players are already in today's field with plenty more expected before registration closes at the start of Day 2.
In anticipation of this, the EPT made some slight adjustments to the structure, as outlined in a tweet by PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton.

Jun Obara and Tien Dung Pham got into a raising war early in the day at Table 2 that began with Obara opening from the cutoff. Pham then three-bet to 3,000 from the small blind and Obara responded with a four-bet to 7,800.
Pham wasn't having any of that and put in a five-bet to 18,000, which the dealer initially thought was a call and she began collecting the pot before the table informed her of the raise. Obara wasted no time six-bet jamming with a stack of about 45,000 and Pham called after a few seconds.
Jun Obara: 
Tien Dung Pham: 
No, it wasn't aces over kings, but instead a fair fight between nines and ace-king. Obara took the lead when the flop came 
to pair his ace and he improved to Broadway on the 
runout to earn him the double, while Pham was left with a short stack during the first level of play.
After Dimitrios Angelakos opened the action with a raise in early position, he was three-bet to 2,000 by Sam Greenwood in the hijack.
Angelakos called to see a flop of 
. He then check-called a bet of 1,200 from Greenwood and the duo then checked the 
turn.
On the river, Angelakos checked again and this time he faced a bet of 6,000 from his Canadian opponent.
Angelakos pondered briefly then mucked his hand to send the pot across the table.
After Orpen Kisacikoglu limped in the small blind, Pieter Aerts raised to 800 in the big blind. Kisacikoglu then limp-three-bet to 3,600 and was called by Aerts.
On the 
flop, Kisacikoglu continued for 5,200 and was called by Aerts.
The turn brought the 
and Kisacikoglu cut out a bet of 12,700 before tossing it forward. Again, Aerts made the call.
The duo had similar stacks remaining for the 
river and Kisacikoglu fired once more for 26,600, leaving himself a single T-100 chip behind. The bet actually covered Aerts, who had roughly 24,000 left.
After using one of his time bank cards, Aerts folded to send the pot to "Orp the Turk"
Stephen Chidwick opened to 500 from under the gun and Dimitrios Angelakos flat-called as the player next to act, while Arnold Oosterbaan also came along from the big blind.
Oosterbaan checked on the flop of 
and Chidwick also checked. Angelakos fired a bet to 700 and only Chidwick called.
Chidwick checked again on the turn and Angelakos quickly bet 1,000. After staring down his opponent for a bit, Chidwick check-raised to 4,500, prompting a fold from his Greek opponent, who showed the 
.
Francisco Pena raised to 500 on the button and was met by a three-bet to 1,800 from Nacho Barbero in the small blind. Alexander Ivarsson folded his big blind and Pena called.
The flop came
