Thomas Kremser's line for the total number of players is 926, while his number two Gerard has gone for a slightly more conservative 850.
Team PokerStars Pro Marcin Horecki is much more optimistic, predicting the number of runners might hit the 1,000 mark.

Joseph Stykemain, from the USA has enjoyed himself at EPT Deauville, but maybe he has enjoyed himself a little bit too much?
Stykemain wanted to make a raise but he was confused as to what size he was going to make it. He said "3" and then started to make a string bet before the player to his left took 3,000 from Stykemain's stack and put them in front of the line.
Anarchy ensued and the Dealer called for some professional assistance.
It was decided that Stykemain had intended to raise three times the big blind and he was allowed to do so. As happen,s most of the time with these things, everyone folded and Stykemain took down the pot uncontested.
"I really need to go and get my glasses." Said Stykemain before wobbling away from the table.
He returned a short while later equipped with spectacles.
"I call!" said Stykemain
Stykemain put 600 chips in the middle and the Dealer once again had to pull him up because there had already been a raise before him.
"What someone has raised?" Said Stykemain.
Perhaps the glasses were broke?
Antoine Saout opened from under-the-gun making it 1,525 to play and Denis Patout called in the big blind. The dealer dropped 
onto the flop and Patout checked the action over to Saout. Saout bet 2,300 and Patout already had his chips in his hand, ready to drop in the pot, and made the call. Both players checked the 
on the turn before Patout fired into the 
river with a bet of 1,800 and Saout folded.
Level: 8
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 75
A gigantic three-way cooler just now saw Christophe Castel delighted as he tripled up to what looked like 70,000; Drasutis Narmontas was somewhat less happy as his stack only increased very slightly from winning the side pot; and Turkyilmaz Selim has very few reasons to be cheerful as he's been crippled to just 6,000.
Selim: 
Narmontas: 
Castel: 
Board: 
Well, Christophe De Meulder might be able to bust a few moves in celebration after he doubled up again, pushing for 6,775 over the top of Rabtsov Kirell's 2,000 button raise. A call and a race between the Belgian's and the Russian's 
.
The board? A quickly emphatic 
puts the Team Pokerstars Pro back over the 15,000 mark.
It looks as though one of either two things has happened. Either Jack Ellwood is so confident he no longer needs to be at his table or even leave his chips there as a token of his belief in winning this tournament...
Or, he's been knocked out.
