The tournament staff just announced that they will stop the clock and all tables will play one more hand before the reentry period is done.
Registration is closed for Day 1b and the total number of entrants is up to 276 which brings the field already up to 406 with the 130 from Day 1a. A turbo flight will commence at 10 p.m. local time so the number will go up even further.
The first edition got 273 entrants and that number dropped to 181 when Tobias Peters won it in the following year. The buy-in for the tournament dropped from €1,650 to €1,100 this year and the well over 400 players already smashed the €393,120 prize pool from two years ago.

The complete ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
board was already dealt when small blind Sandro Pitzanti checked to Mark Roovers in the cutoff. He bet 3,500 in a pot worth over 10,000. He was very quickly called by the player on the button and Pitzanti got out of the way even quicker.
Roovers opened up ![]()
for a full house and that was more than enough to take down the pot and add to his stack.
