Day 1b of the SIGA Poker Championship is always the biggest, and the room was already full before the day even began. There's 170 entries on the board to start the day, and that number will only grow through the four and a half hours of late registration.
Last year, 232 entries swelled the prize pool on Day 1b, which meant the prize pool ended up at just a hair under $220,000. With the increased numbers on Day 1a, and the full room to start Day 1b, added to the increased buy-in, it's almost a certainty the 2018 prize pool will be crushed this year.
