EPT Copenhagen: Today is Day 1b
![[user46298]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Welcome to Day 1b here at EPT Copenhagen! The first 213 players in this year’s event have had their initial bite at the tournament apple, and 133 have made it through to tomorrow’s Day 2. While the survivors relax alongside the frozen river, a fresh batch of players is about to be seated, ready to start play at midday local time.
The Casino Copenhagen at the Radisson Blu will most likely be even busier today than yesterday, with registration remaining open for the first two levels. The poker-friendly late breakfast (until 1pm!) is only now really starting to bustle, and the full selection of pros, qualifiers and local players will only show themselves as the tournament arena opens up. Should you find yourself with a spare DKK 35,000, then you too could take your seat in front of a 30,000 starting stack amidst one of the toughest and most interesting fields on the circuit.
While precisely who might be confirmed to play today is yet hazy, we do know that many well-known players will be attending, including Team PokerStars Pro Victor Blom and JP Kelly alongside a small but tough gaggle of young Brits, including Jake Cody and Toby Lewis. Luca Cainelli was spotted at breakfast earlier as was a group of eight identically-dressed air stewardesses (the former, we are sure, playing, the latter probably not).
The pace of action on Day 1a was well-nigh terrifying, and if that's any template for the second start day then we'll be bringing action live here from the moment of the Shuffle Up and Deal.
