Guarantee Reached

With only two levels in the books so far today on Day 1B the field size has already surged past 500 and shows no signs of slowing just yet.

The tournament clock shows 241 entries to day, of which 235 remain. Couple with the 276 entries yesterday it means that a total of 517 players have entered the PokerStars Festival Sochi Main Event.

And, with four levels left of late registration as well as the special turbo edition of Day 1C to go, the number of entrants looks set to swell even further.
