Clyde Tjauw Foe, Raoul Refos and Farid Chati hopped on the plane from Amsterdam to Prague in the wee hours of the morning. Sleepy-eyed, they tried their luck at Day 1c, but the trio busted in quick succession. They all announced to be back tonight and take a second shot in the Day 1d turbo.
With late registration closed, the total number of players on Day 1c is 475. That puts the total number of players on 913, with Day 1d still coming up. It's the biggest Main Event ever in Rozvadov and will also be the biggest PokerStars Festival Main Event ever once Day 1d gets underway.
The 310 remaining players are on their last fifteen-minute break of the day, in which the T-25 chips will be raced off. After the break, two more levels of 45 minutes will be played until chips will be bagged and tagged for Day 2 on Sunday.
