791 entries before Big Friday

The Turbo 1F at the Circus Namur French Open finally attracted 22 entrants, bringing the tournament's provisional attendance to 791... the prize pool is very close to being guaranteed, while Friday's two Flights should be the busiest of the week. 

With just under an hour remaining in Thursday's Turbo, Ali Bilgin is leading the way with almost 250,000 chips. There are still 13 players in the running and Djamal Boutaleb has raised 150,000... 

182 players have validated their tickets for Day 2 at 2pm on Saturday, a handful of whom will make it through this Turbo, and we'll be back with the full chipcount as soon as this Flight ends... 

Eight additional qualifiers

Day 1F Turbo attracted 22 entrants and 8 players qualified after 9 levels of 15-minute play followed by 3 levels of 20-minute play.

Ali Bilgin, Jeremy Baldisseri, Djamel Boutaleb, Majid Bozakraft and Morten Faas have all qualified for Day 2 on Saturday September 9, starting at 2pm with blinds 2000 - 4000 (4000).
