Biggest. Tournament. Ever.
We can at this stage say without a shadow of a doubt that this is the biggest tournament ever held in the UK. We only needed 392 runners today to break the record set here at last year's EPT and even allowing some leeway for the odd registration-is-still-open inaccuracies, we have already smashed that.
The number on the board right now is 512, meaning that our total number of runners including yesterday's 339 currently amounts to somewhere in the region of 850. With the record at 730, this is by far the biggest poker outing that's ever been seen on these shores.
Fine work, PokerStars.
