A bumper field of 143 players on Day 1b and a further 112 on Day 1c brought the total number of entries in the Unibet Open Paris Main Event to 480 here at the Club Circus.

The remaining players will all be eagerly awaiting the prize pool for the 2019 edition, with 21 players advancing from Day 1b to join the 42 who had already locked up their places with yet more still to come from Day 1c.

By the end of the twelve levels on Day 1b it was Vladimir Nex who bagged the chip lead with 436,000.

Cedric Zaks (342,000) and Michael Erbil (302,000) were the only other players over 300,000 in chips, whilst early chip leader Zaman Tabish survived bagging up a healthy 264,000 in chips.
