Huge field (298 entries) today, so this is a giant photo gallery!
We had 298 entries for our single day 100k event at Texas Card House, presented by PokerAtlas. We are closing in on the bubble now, but expect the tournament to go late into the night. Completing an event with a field this large in a single day isn't easy, but the staff at TCH are fantastic and everything has been smooth sailing so far.
