Player Count

PPT staff has informed us that a total of 226 players registered for Day 1a and that they expect a similar number tomorrow.

Hypothetically speaking, if Day 1b also draws 226 players, the prizepool would reach an astonishing €3,164,000 -- approximately $4,572,000 USD!

Amazingly, that's after a very hefty fee of €1,500 is removed from each buy-in. We've been told that the tax laws in France are very stringent and that the government takes approximately half of the entry fee right off the top.
