The PokerStars and Paddy Power sponsored event has been a smash hit so far and the atmosphere and anticipation continues to grow as the journey to crown a Main Event Champion continues.
At the time of writing, 271 players have entered into Day 1d, indicating that today's field could be even bigger than yesterday's 1c flight, which saw 1,012 entries.
Flight 1e is scheduled to take place at 8 p.m. local time and will be a turbo flight, featuring 14 20-minute levels. Players will be allowed a single re-entry to each flight so expect there to be multiple bullets being fired across the board.
