55 players out of 109 entrants found a bag at the end of Day 1d. They are qualified for Day 2 which will take place tomorrow, Sunday, May 26 at 1:00 p.m. local time.
Stay tuned for updated chip counts and a recap of the day.
The four flights of the €1,200 WSOP Circuit Paris Main Event are now over, here at the Stade-Jean Bouin in Paris, the beautiful capital city of France. In total, 950 entrants have been recorded after all Day 1s, but late registration remains open until the end of Level 12, two levels after the beginning of Day 2.
349 players have qualified for Day 2 so far, including the 54 players who made it through Day 1d out of a field of 109 entrants. Among these players are Frédéric Delval (205,500), who was in the lead for a long time before "losing a flip for 20,000 during the last hands," and Mathieu Di Meglio (200,000). But both of them were still far from the chip leader of the day, Arthur Amar, with his 297,000 chip stack.
