Registration is officially closed in the $2,200 Big, Big Kick Off event with 198 registered for Day 1b, bringing the tournament total to 456.

With that, the prize pool will be exactly $1 million as there was a bit of overlay, which means great value for the players. There are still four more levels of play before bagging chips.

There were 72 players remaining at last count. Day 1a had 33 players advance to tomorrow's Day 2.
