188 total runners registered and paid 5000 Euros for the chance to become the World Poker Tour's European Finals of Poker Diamond Event Champion.

While Day 1A participants included the likes of Michel Abécassis, Antoine Saout, Samuel Chartier, Hugo Lemaire and Fabrice Soulier, Day 1B also has one heck of a star-studded field...

Day 2 runners include: Tony G, Sam Trickett, Max Lykov, Pierre Neuville, Surinder Sunar, Freddy Deeb, Isabelle Mercier, Dominik Nitsche, Marvin Reittenmaier, Sam El Sayed, Yohann Aube, Sebastien Grenetton and Jean-Paul Pasqualini.
