265 Entered
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
We now have just entered Level 6 with blinds at 200/400 and an ante of 25. Yesterday late registrations and re-entries slowed down a bit at this point, however, the tournament is still likely to beat last year's Day 1b total with 265 players registered now when compared to 269 during Day 1b last year.
If Day 1b reaches 282 players, which seems possible at this point, then the tournament size after two opening days will be larger than last year's Main Event. Yesterday with 179 players, the field was 13 players shy of the 192 that entered Day 1a last year.
