179 Players So Far

The clock indicates there are 179 players who started today on Day 1a. Registration will be open the entire day, and same goes for tomorrow. In fact, players are able to register up till the start of Day 2 for this tournament.

Here's a look at the number of entrants. PokerNews has been covering this event since 2010 and so we know the entrants per starting days for these events. If history on this small sample size learns us anything, it's that tomorrow will be a lot busier than today.

2005	?	?	243	€2,000	Brandon Schaefer	€144,000

* In some years Day 1a and 1b don't add up to the number under total, as players were able to register before Day 2 without having played one of the two starting days.
