Day 2 of the first multi-flight game of the series is set to run. A total of 442 entries were recorded over the three starting flights, with 44 players surviving through the three.

Hasanain Al Ghunaim doesn’t come out that often for these events, but when he does, he always seems to bag a big stack. Today was no exception, with his 1c stack the clear leader for all three flights. He bagged 733k, almost 200k more than 1b leader Regan Duong. Kristopher Di Leone (1a leader), Brian Fleiming (1c), and Essam Saadeddine (1b) round out the top five stacks for Day 2.
The Day 2 action gets going at noon on Sunday, and play will start with 4:01 remaining in Level 17, which is where Day 1c ended (both 1a & 1b went well into Level 18 before bagging), with blinds for the first four minutes of the day at 4k/8k/8k. Blinds start out at 30 minutes, but will jump to 40 minutes when the Day 2 field hits 18 players. Full prizes for Day 2 are under the Payouts tab, with the top ten spots below. Note that there was an adjustment to first place after my last prize pool post – the rest of the prize pool stayed the same, but the payout for 1st place jumped to over $27k.
