There were 35 unique entries and six re-entries to create a 41-entry strong field, but that number may still change with the registration being open until the start of Day 2 in one hour from now at 1 p.m. local time.
All players that busted on their first bullet yesterday are allowed to re-enter again, while four players already did so on Day 1 and failed to make Day 2. Among those was Phil Ivey, and the poker superstar is expected to be back in action for Day 1 of the HK$ 1,000,000 Main Event as of Sunday, Feb 19.

Other notables and big stacks in a field of high-stakes experts are Dario Sammartino (129,200), Rainer Kempe (116,500), David Peters (83,400) and Pratyush Buddiga (77,800).
Erik Seidel (76,500), Founder of Triton Richard Yong (74,000), Dan Colman (56,600) and Dan Cates (52,100) also made it through, while defending Triton Super High Roller Main Event champion Wai Kin Yong (32,500), President of Poker King Club Winfred Yu (29,700) and Paul Phua (26,800) are among the short stacks coming back.
