The €300 Day 1b opening flight of the Main Event is on its first break after six blind levels of 20 minutes each. This means there are four more levels of late registration for players to get a fresh stack of 20,000 (half the 40,000 in the €600 buy-in flights) in the €300 buy-in opening flight with just 7.5 percent advancing as opposed to the 15 percent advancing from the €600 buy-in flights.

Vasilj Barna, Tanel Evert, Jianyi Lu (who coincidentally also bubbled Day 1b in the 2024 Battle of Malta Spring Edition Main Event), Arthur Navellou, and Gang Wang are among the players still in battle with the field now reaching 100 entries with 66 players in their seats when the action resumes.
