Event 1 (Day 1)
Level 9 (300/600/100)
Total Entries: 332
Players Remaining: 171
The late registration period has officially closed as the players have returned from their post-Level 8 break meaning that the Card Player Poker Tour $100,000 GTD Event 1 field has been frozen at 332 players.
There was a flurry of bust outs right before the break as players did not seem interested in coming back with "short" stacks and a few players have been seen re-entering, coming back to a full 20,000 chip starting stack.
There are plenty of "notable" Foxwoods players that survived the late registration period, including Joseph Steirs, Je Wook Oh, Jason Rivkin, James Woods and Matthew Wantman to name a few.
Those players and the rest of the remaining field will now focus on completing a full Day 1 session, with play set to end tonight after the completion of Level 17.
We're still a ways away from that though and the updates will continue at a more frequent pace through the end of this Day 1 session as we start getting into the "meat and potatoes" of the CPPT $100,000 GTD Event 1.
