Main Event Approaching 600 Entrants
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
At the start of the last level entrance in Day 1b was closed, with 401 total entrants entering the fray today. Add in the 177 players from yesterday's Day 1a and that makes 578 total entrants, one player short of the 579 players which entered last year's Eureka Bucharest Main Event.
With this evening's turbo Day 1c scheduled to take place at 9 p.m., it is safe to assume that the PokerStars Festival Bucharest Main Event could eclipse 600 entrants.
