The field is quickly shrinking, with just 35 players remaining spread across the final four tables. The tension in the room is palpable, as only 13 more eliminations are needed before the tournament hits the money, where the remaining 22 players will officially survive and secure a payout.

Day 1C has officially eclipsed both prior starting flights, locking in a massive crowd on the tournament floor. The flight easily blew past Day 1A’s 147 entries and completely left Day 1B’s 88 entries in the dust.

The field for Day 1C currently stands at a towering 170 entries and counting. Time is running out for any hopeful latecomers, as registration will officially close at the conclusion of this current level.

Players are now on their first 15-minute break of the day to stretch and regroup.

To keep everyone fueled up for the action ahead, players can head over to the hospitality stations right here at the venue to enjoy a complimentary selection of refreshments. MGM Cotai is offering free coffee, juices, milk tea, hot drinks, and food to help the field recharge before heading back to the tournament tables.

The field is expanding rapidly as the first break of the day approaches. Day 1C has already blown past the 100-mark, officially recording 115 entries and counting.

Out of those entries, 102 players are still seated and battling on the tournament floor, with plenty of time remaining for that number to climb before late registration slams shut.
