The Longest Day
The €10,300 High Roller shattered all records yesterday, the que for registration was longer than the buffet line at times. A total of 378 entries were made on the first day of play, and 176 players made it through to Day 2.
We'll surely see the numbers climb even more, as registration is still open and players are able to sign up or re enter till 11:45 a.m. local time.
As soon as registration closes, we'll have a table draw and hopefully a prize pool for you. One thing is for sure though; today is going to be a long one. Expect a lot of levels to be played, as the goal is to reach a final table of 8. With a minimum of 176 players still in contention, that might be proved to be hard to reach, even last year the tournament stopped with still 9 players in contention after day 2.
Stephen Chidwick is in the lead right now, but it's a long road to the money and final table. PokerNews will be here the entire day to supply you with all the updates you can wish for. With a field full of stars like this, it shouldn't be too hard to find interesting spots to blog about. Stay tuned, as the tournament starts in a little under two hours (noon local time).
