Because the registration was still open till the end of the day, the tables were organized short handed. As soon as the tournament starts, the tables will get filled by the newcomers and a table will be broken presumably.
Anthony Zinno and John Juanda decided to give it another try and just bought in. Piotr Franczak, Dzmitry Urbanovich and Dominik Nitsche are the newcomers today.

There was a no limit hold'em hyper turbo single rebuy super satellite to the €50,000 Super High Roller at 10 last night. 12 players entered in the 10-minute level tournament, resulting in one seat. Aleksandr Denisov, who finished 14th in the Barcelona €10,000 High Roller and 5th in the APPT ACOP High Roller last month, beat Adrian Mateos heads up for the ticket. Mateos had to settle for €17.900, only a little consolidation prize after he busted the High Roller yesterday running a straight into Schemion's quads.
Yingui Li, Zvi Stern, Andrei Streltsou, [Removed:17], Ivan Luca, Juha Helppi, Martin Finger, David Steicke and Roberto Romanello were the other players giving it a try. All those players still have the option to register for the event as registration is open till 12:30.
