With late registration closing two levels ago, we can confirm a total of 664 entries for this single flight, setting a new record for the G-SIPO and breaking new ground during the Elite Test Day.
Meanwhile, on the second flight of the day, Day 1H Speed, the play reached the seventh level. Out of the 201 entries, 134 players remain.

We’ve reached the eighth level of play here at the DC Poker Room, where Day 1G and Day 1H run simultaneously.

The second flight began about an hour ago, and we’re now in the second level, with blinds at 200/400 and a 400 ante. So far, 54 players have been seated out of 54 entries, although a significant influx of participants is expected as eliminations increase in the first flight.
We can also share some exciting figures: total entries have already surpassed 2,000, and the provisional total prize pool has exceeded expectations. Additionally, two milestones have been reached—a new record for the number of entries in a single flight at the GC Poker Room and for the total entries in a single tournament.
While writing this updates, we've reached 2.166 entries for a CHF1.115.000 prize pool.
Sat 23 Nov - 17:00 - Delirium on Day1 G!
What is happening here at the GC Poker Room is likely unprecedented in history, at least for Liechtenstein. With 540 entries recorded so far on Day 1G and late registration still open for another five hours, these numbers are entirely unmatched. Currently, 376 players remain active at the tables, with blinds at 600/1,200 and a 1,200 ante. The average stack stands at 86,000 chips.
Due to overcrowding at the venue, “emergency measures”, so to speak, have been implemented. The satellite for Day 1 of the EPM has been cancelled, and Day 1H, the second flight scheduled for today, has been delayed by two hours and will begin at 7 PM.
Providing stack updates is challenging, as the situation changes rapidly, but we will deliver a detailed overview by the end of the late registration period. The excitement here in Bendern, Liechtenstein, is palpable, and even more thrills are expected in the coming hours.
Sat 23 Nov - 03:00 - Daniel Josef F. ahead on Day1 F!
Swiss player Daniel Josef F. not only claims the top spot in today’s chip count but also secures a €10,000 ticket for the WPT Main Event. He managed to accumulate over 1,200,000 chips. His immediate reactions can be found in the interview published in our Daily Report at THIS LINK.
Sat 23 Nov - 02:00 - Thierry Sven Thomann is Day1 E chip leader!
With a stack exceeding 1,200,000 chips, Swiss player Thierry Sven Thomann is the chip leader of Day 1E. Our daily report, which includes photos, highlights, an interview with the chip leader, and much more, can be found at THIS LINK.
Sat 23 Nov - 00:30 - Heading towards the end of both flights!
Here is a quick recap from the GCPoker Room: Day 1-E is nearing its conclusion as the remaining players take their final break of the day. Levels are 40 minutes long, so Day 1-F, which started at 5 PM, is around the same stage due to a difference in structure.
We’re down to 45 players in Day 1-E, while Day 1-F still has 53 players left. The former is currently at Level 14, while the latter is at Level 12. Over 400 entries have been recorded today alone, making it a very busy session.
We’ll be back in a couple of hours with the daily reports, as it’s currently a bit challenging to follow both tournaments simultaneously. In the meantime, here are a few more photos from the floor!
Fri 22 Nov - 22:00 - Approaching the end of late reg on Day1 E with Thomann ahead!

On the opposite side of the room, Day 1F Speed started at 5 p.m. and is underway. 88 players remain from 198 entries as they enter the dinner break for about 30 minutes following the conclusion of Level 7.
When play resumes, blinds will increase to 1,000-2,000 with a 2,000 ante, and the average stack is 87,000 chips. At the end of Level 11, we’ll also provide a brief stack recap for the first of today's two flights.

As a reminder, late registration will remain open until the end of Level 11. It’s still early to provide an update on the stacks in play, so here are the first shots of the day. 😜
Fri 22 Nov - 02:45 - Scaramumba is Day1 D chip leader!
The Swiss player Scaramumba dominated Day 1D of the Euro Poker Million (EPM) Main Event, amassing over 1,600,000 chips.
This impressive performance earned him the largest prize offered by the Chip Leader Bonuses feature, which awards cash prizes to the top stacks of the day.
Please refer to the daily report at THIS LINK to find out the names of the other four players who received prizes
Thu 21 Nov - 23:45 - Third break with over 330 entries!
The eleventh level is nearing its end, which also means the close of late registration is approaching. However, players will still have 15 minutes to register during the break that follows the current level. At this point, 126 players remain in the hunt for a spot in Day 2.
The total number of entries stands at 336, including 107 pre-entries. The game continues at blinds of 2,000-4,000 with a 4,000 ante, and the average stack is 160,000 chips.
