A field of 65 total entrants has been whittled down to 17 here at the Portomaso Casino in Malta. The tournament plays down to 12.5% of the total field, meaning that only 8 players will progress to Day 2 and be in the money.
Elsewhere, the Satellite to the Main Event has attracted 67 total entrants, with 34 left battling it out for a €550 ticket.
In the third and final flight of the Hendon Mob Championship, 89 are currently in play of the 114 total entrants that have bought in to this event. Registration remains open for two more levels, so the field size could grow even more as it reaches last-chance saloon time before the final day kicks off tomorrow at noon. Below are the top counts from the Turbo 1/C flight.
