The field has grown to 131 entries, already surpassing the total from Day 1b yesterday.
888poker Ambassador Ian Simpson is playing the €888 Main Event for the third straight day, currently looking build a stack on his fifth bullet of the tournament.
"So far I'm on 40,000 on bullet number five from a 50,000 starting stack. I was on 25,000, so I feel rich!" Simpson told PokerNews during the break. "I did two bullets in the High Roller, all coming to tragic, tragic ends."
"This bullet feels like it's going better than all the other ones which is really, really sad now that I say it out loud, but we battle." Simpson is looking to find a bag tonight and earn a spot in Day 2 tomorrow.
