In the early hours of the morning on Tuesday, March 8, the final starting flight of the €1,100 Eureka Main Event (FKA EPT National) wrapped up with 96 players advancing to Day 2 which begins in less than 9 hours time at 12 p.m. CET.
Day 1d operated as a turbo flight, with levels increasing every 20-minutes. It was a fast and ferocious affair, with action going from the get go.
By the time late registration closed, there were 654 entries, taking the total number to a massive 3,155. It was a record setting field, and with that, a record setting prize pool of €3,028,000. Across the four starting flights, 469 players made it through to Day 2 and they have all locked up a min-cash, which is yet to be determined.
