Massive Day 1d Field Expected

With roughly two hours to go before the noon kickoff for Day 1d play, roughly 2,200 players have registered. This will make the Day 1d opening session by far the largest of the four opening sessions, easily topping yesterday's 1,928-player turnout. It'll be a star-studded field on Sunday as well, as many of poker's biggest names have chosen to wait until the last opening day to play.

The big turnout will force the use of virtually all the overflow areas at the Rio, making for wall-to-wall, high-stakes poker. We'll have the latest reports from the Main Event's final opening day, beginning at noon, right here on PokerNews.
