There's been 96 players and 34 re-entries so far in this year's $200,000 Triton Invitational, and with late reg open until the start of Day 2 at 12pm today we just need 3 more to make Montenegro's Invitational the biggest in Triton history.
Ethan 'Rampage' Yau leads the way after bagging a huge 1m+ chip stack, with Wai Kin Yong the only other player to reach the seven-figure milestone ahead of Day 2.
Today, the field combines as pros and invitees will duke it out, hoping to make the final table in one of Triton's biggest events of all time.
We'll confirm payouts from this event, as and when we have them.
