Bigger Field Then 2017

Nikolai Yakovenko has just taken a seat in today's tournament, and in doing so it has taken the tournament entrants to 103 which is one more then last year.

With registration open until the beginning of Day 2 (approximately 2:00 p.m. on Friday June 8th), a few more numbers are expected to trickle into the field.

However the record number of 118 set in 2016 when the event was won by Jean Gaspard is probably out of question.
