As predicted, the field grew tremendously though the late registration period and now that the break is over and registration is closed, we can report that a total of 106 players have bought in!

As action continues in level 6 there are 98 players remaining, and with blinds going up every 15 minutes the action should be fast and furious!

Event 3 is underway
