After the elimination of Idris Ambraisse in 35th place, the final 34 players have bagged and tagged their chips for Day 2 of WPT Prime Paris, which begins tomorrow (Saturday) at 12:00 noon CET.

The chipleader from this flight is Olivier Chaignard, who finished with 574,000. The overall chipleader heading into Day 2 is still Nicolas Dumont, who bagged a massive stack of 913,000 at the end of Day 1B.

There were 272 entries today for Day 1D, and registration has already closed for Turbo Flight 1E with another 162 entries. That creates a total tournament field of 1,071 entries, and the prizepool should be worth more than €1 million. (The full list of payouts should be released late tonight after all flights have finished.)
