A GIANT Flight
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
With already over 2,500 entrants in the final flight of the GIANT, it is by far the biggest flight of them all. The first flight got 1,289 entrants and the second one had 'just' 969 players in the tournament. The third flight had 1,148 and the one before today's flight had 1,167 players. That makes up for a total of 4,573 entries so far.
Today's tournament is already at 2,548 entries, and with late registration and unlimited rebuys available, this should be a giant one.
