While Day 1b of the €600 Galway Poker Festival Main Event is still underway in full force with 143 entries on the clock, those who have already been eliminated or woke up late from their slumbers in the comfortable beds of The Galmont Hotel & Spa are in luck as Day 1c is slated to start at 5 p.m. local time.
The guaranteed prize pool of €300,000 has not been reached yet, incentivizing players to sign up for every flight to maximize their chances of making Day 2. Of course, the €10,000 last-longer for Paddy Power Poker qualifiers is also still in effect. Players who get unlucky today need not fret, however, as three more starting flights are happening tomorrow, Saturday, January 6.

As with all starting flights at this iteration of the Irish Poker Tour, late registration is open for nine levels, and one reentry is available per player. Everyone who survives the 15 levels will bag up for Day 2, which takes place on Sunday, January 7.
