The 122-entry strong field was cut down to only 49 hopefuls with fewer than one full level played after the dinner break. Some of those who departed as of lately were Sascha Manns, Mark Finnane, Nikolay Ponomarev, Zexuan Huan, John Burke, Ronan Nally, and Duff Charette. They will all have to enter less exciting tournaments with fewer cards for the remainder of the evening or jump into the cash game action on the first day of the 2025 Irish Open.
