Daniel NegreanuThe biggest news on day 1B at the 2010 PokerStars European Poker Tour London £5,250 no-limit hold’em main event was the release of the official size of the field and prize pool. The field stands at 848 players, which smashes the record for the largest poker tournament ever held in England.

The previous record was 730 players for the 2009 EPT London main event. The year-over-year growth was an impressive 16 percent, making this one of the largest poker tournaments of the year.

Here is a look at the full prize payout information:

The increase in numbers is thanks in large part to the host country of the United Kingdom and the sizeable contingent of professionals and qualifiers from the United States who decided to make the jump across the pond. France, Germany, and Italy rounded out the top five. Here is a look at the top 10 nationalities in number of players participating at EPT London:
