Very similar to yesterday's first starting day, the field is growing rapidly and 14 tables are now in use. Now all of them are full ring just yet, but the tournament screens already jumped to three digits and currently display 104 entries for Day 1b.
Despite starting with 300 big blinds, the stack of Carlos de la Vega Gracia has been reduced to zero in the first level and the blinds moved up while Kenneth Amell Boquera raked in the pot. It is still 300 big blinds now, for Amell Boquera that is, who doubled the stack early on.
