The Day 1b prize pool crack $800k as the final break of entries finished and the desk shut down for this flight. The final entry tally was 409, with 125 of those players still at the felt for the final 5 levels of the night.
Assuming the 409 entries are confirmed when the prizes come out, that should mean 62 players in the 1b money, with at least 41 bags at the end of the night. Just as a reminder, the 1b ation will continue until the end of Level 17, assuming players are in the money by then.
Day 1 flights to the Main must play into the money, so they could go longer than 17 levels if they aren’t at 62 by then, and in theory, they could bag early if they get to 41 players before the end of Level 17, but that scenario almost never happens in the Main. Most often, the finish 17 levels with more than 10% of the field still alive, or have to play overtime to get to 15%.
Day 1a finished just before the end of Level 17, after spending most of that final level on the money bubble.
