With registration closed here on Day 1b, we have an official field size for this tournament. There were 326 players yesterday and 692 more played today, for a total of 1,018.

That makes it the largest championship event ever held at the Borgata, but only barely -- their January tournament attracted 1,017 players.

Prizepool information won't be announced until the casino cage double checks all the numbers, but we are expecting a $1 million first prize.
