Registration in Event 5 will close in just over 15 minutes so we’ll have a final figure soon, but already there are 105 players in the tournament, which makes this yet another very strong turnout in this festival, particularly for a daytime tournament. Of those 105 players there have been 24 rebuys, with more of those certain to come as players take their last chance to rebuy as the level closes.
