A total of 1,928 players have now entered across four starting flights; there are still four more to go before Day 2 begins on August 25. Players who haven’t yet made it to Day 2 still have multiple chances left, with two entries available per flight.
Last year’s Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event reached a record-breaking total of 6,313 entries. Flights in this year’s event are expected to get even busier as the days go on, so there’s every chance those numbers will be breached and new records set.
