Day 1b has begun here in the Portomaso Casino with the field surpassing 650 players meaning the event is already the biggest ever for an IPT, larger than the 1,010 at IPT San Remo back in Season 6. Today the tournament is already split between two floors on levels five (ground floor) and six with those on the former sharing the room with the 14 players coming back for Day 2 of the €25,000 High Roller event.

The combined fields of Day 1a and 1b already total more than 1,000 entries

Registration will be open until the break after the end of level four (roughly 4.30pm CET) so there’s currently no telling how big this event will get between now and then. Expecting the numbers to rocket seems to be safe bet.
