Last year, the PokerStars Championship National drew 4,557 runners, setting a new record for largest PokerStars tournament ever at the time. The biggest National might become even bigger as Day 1d has already drawn 829 runners, putting the current total number of players at 4,335.
It's the space that's being the limited factor, as hundreds of poker enthusiasts are waiting in the wings as alternate to claim a spot in the last flight of the day. Every table and chair in the room is currently fully occupied.
