Days 1a and 1b of the Main Event brought in a total of 523 entries, which meant that another 477 entries were required to meet the prize pool guarantee of $1M. Well, the flight is almost through the first level to be played today and that number has already been surpassed as 486 players have taken their seats so far today.
And while an overlay and the added value it represents is great for players, passing the number of entries to hit a guarantee is even better, because every entry in the event after #477 grows the prize pool, which is obviously a great thing.
