Late registration closed at the end of Level 13 in Day 1c and Day 1d Turbo, so the official numbers have now been confirmed.

A total of 2,873 entries were recorded in the 2026 WPO Aix-les-Bains Main Event, more than 300 entries above last year's total. Every single flight was bigger than in 2025, with today's Day 1c standing out after drawing 1,350 entries. In this flight, the day will conclude once 224 players remain.

Day 1d Turbo attracted 374 entries, but only 63 of them will qualify for Day 2 and secure a minimum cash of €1,000. The confirmed prize pool and detailed payouts will be revealed when play resumes tomorrow.
