126 sat down for Day1b, bringing to 249 the total field, 11% up Nottingham and another record for a GCBPT Main Event. Total prize pool – including the £5,000 added by Galapoker.co.uk – is £129,500, with £40,750 for the winner, plus a prized package to the Grand Final (again in Bristol in December).
Another long-day for the players with nine levels, saw the field whittled even further than the previous day, to 26, meaning that Day2 will kick off with 54. Lam Trinh held an impressive chip-lead and with 152,500 will easily head the field at the start of the final day.
