On Monday the €10,000 High Roller also kicked off with a huge field, there were 303 registrations in total (247 unique players + 56 re-entries).

By the end of the day there were 157 players left, but registration and re-entry is open until the start of Day 2 so the field size could increase even more.
The biggest stack belongs to Kenneth Smaron, but Jeff Rositer, Anton ''antesvante'' Wigg, Daniel ''jungleman12'' Cates, Rocco Palumbo and Igor Kurganov have also amassed big stacks.

Jason Mercier, Fabrice Soulier, Ivan Luca and Martin Finger have all been eliminated but there's a good chance that they will take advantage of the re-entry option.
Day 2 kicks off from 12:30 on Tuesday and players will play ten 1-hour levels.
