Including the ongoing Day 1e flight, the clock currently reads 891 total entries made, crushing last year's record of 888 entries.
This number will only grow further as late registration will remain open for a few more minutes in Day 1d, while Day 1e has five more levels to hop in.
Kevin Hasler was all in from the big blind for around 50,000, being up against Jonas Lapinskas on the button.
Kevin Hasler: Q♣J♣ 
Jonas Lapinskas: A♣K♥
Lapinskas gained a flush draw on the 7♥3♥4♥ flop to diminish Hasler's outs. The 2♣ turn and 4♦ river remained clean as well, sending Hasler to the exit with only a few minutes left to reenter in this flight.
David Marfil open-jammed for 52,000 in the hijack. Javier Marin called for 42,500 in the cutoff, and Albert Ostrovskij called as well in the big blind, covering both opponents.
Javier Marin: K♥J♠
David Marfil: Q♠10♠
Albert Ostrovskij: 10♥10♦
The 9♥5♣9♠4♠ flop and turn kept things interesting, but the river fell the boring 6♦ to see Ostrovskij scoop the pot and cross the half-million mark.
Sylvain Vasseur open-raised in the hijack, and Christian Steinbo three-bet on the button. Vasseur responded with a four-bet to 52,000, after which Steinbo five-bet all in.
Vasseur's stack of 158,500 was covered, and he took some time to think things through. After a minute or so, he called for his tournament life.
Sylvain Vasseur: K♦K♣
Christian Steinbo: A♠Q♥
Vasseur found a set on the K♠5♥A♥ flop, but the J♠ turn kept things exciting. Steinbo did not hit Broadway on the 6♦ river, however, securing Vasseur a double-up.
Vladimir Korzinin sat down with a fresh stack of 50,000 in the hijack. Aliaksandr Shylko then raised to 8,000 in middle position, and Korzinin moved all in blind. The rest of the table folded before Shylko called.
Vladimir Korzinin: 8♣3♣
Aliaksandr Shylko: A♥10♥
Korzinin did not improve on the 7♠7♣K♦J♥2♦ runout, sending the pot Shylko's way.
"I love you," Korzinin said to Shylko as he stood up.
"I love you too," Shylko replied as Korzinin quickly headed to the exit.
Level: 12
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
David Docherty raised to 6,500 in the cutoff. Button Dmitrijs Skibjuks pushed in a very small three-bet to 13,000, which Docherty called.
Docherty then led out for 9,000 on the 4♦8♣7♣ flop. Skibjuks called to the 5♣ turn, where both players checked. Docherty then piled in 37,000 on the 6♣ river, which was enough to take the pot as Skibjuks quickly mucked.
Rauno Tahvonen open-raised in the cutoff, seeing Krzysztof Chmielowski three-bet to 15,000 on the button. Hampus Groenstroem then called cold in the big blind, prompting Tahvonen to put in his stack of 67,500.
Chmielowski four-bet reshoved in response. Groenstroem spent some minutes in thought before he called off his large stack of 231,500, being covered by Chmielowski.
Rauno Tahvonen: 9♠9♣
Hampus Groenstroem: J♠J♥
Krzysztof Chmielowski: A♦Q♠
Groenstroem flopped a set on Q♦3♥J♦. The K♦ turn left Tahvonen drawing dead, and Chmielowski missed his straight draw on the 3♠ river as well.
The gargantuan pot was decided in Groenstroem's favor, seeing him breach ten starting stacks in chips.
