A tournament with a sky-high buy-in of HK$400,000 is going to attract some of the best poker players in the world, and that’s just what we saw today on Day 1 of the PokerStars Championship Macau Super High Roller.

Registration is still open until Day 2 begins tomorrow, but so far there are 79 entries at PokerStars LIVE Macau inside the City of Dreams complex in Macau. After eight levels of play, the day concluded with 47 players with chips to carry to Sunday’s Day 2.

With unlimited reentries allowed and the thought of dropping another HK$400,000 not seeming to be much of a deterrent, there were 17 reentries today.
