Important Day 1b Info
Today's event is sold out at 180 players but we're already way over that number due to the casino's effort to make more space. The clock currently shows 196 registered players and tournament director Christian Scalzi informed us that we're likely to hit 220 players. There are many players lingering around, eager to fill seats of eliminated players.
Players that get knocked out today do not have the option to re-enter, but the unfortunate ones from last night do.
By the looks of it there are plenty of tables available to seat more players right now, but Scalzi informed us that there are not enough dealers for a bigger rotation. Also, the structure of the tournament improves drastically from Day 2 on, which means that adding lots of extra players could overextend the event while there is no real wiggle room. The casino closes every night at 3:00 a.m. local time, and that means the structure was carefully selected to fit into this weekend.
Tonight there's a satellite for the High Roller with a €100+€20 buy in, which will kick off at 20:00.
