The late registration and reentry period of Day 1a of the World Cup of Cards #05 Main Event has just closed with 354 entries towards the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.

This means that Day 1a will end once there are 53 players left in the tournament. With 146 players left in the event and 20-minute levels, the players will need to strap in for a long night to survive to Day 2 which will take place on July 5 at 9:05 p.m. CEST.

Matthew Ireland is in the lead and joined by Armin Rezaei, Martin Bremner, Jan Strazisar, and Christoph Vogelsang in the top five.
