Poker tournament nears record as Day 1b entries surge past 600
The latest poker tournament is drawing strong interest as Day 1b nears its close. With just under four hours left, the event has already attracted 612 entries. Organisers now expect the total field to surpass 1,500 by the end of the session.
If the current pace holds, Day 1b should finish with roughly 430 entries. This would push the combined total for both starting flights beyond 700 players. The prize pool has already grown to over $190,000 across the two days.
The Day 1b prize fund alone exceeds $100,000. With two more flights still to come, the total payout is projected to climb above $220,000. The entry count is also nearing the 617 recorded in January's Day 1b session. Strong participation suggests the event could break previous attendance records. The final numbers will depend on late registrations in the remaining hours.
The tournament's prize pool now stands at more than $220,000 with two flights still pending. A total field of over 1,500 entries is likely by the end of Day 1b. The final count will confirm whether this year's event has set a new participation benchmark.
