Day 2 of the Main Event is set, with 44 players coming back to compete for a share of more than $330k in prizes. One player has already cashed out for the 45th-place min-cash — Mike Malm bagged on both days, but his 1a stack was less than 100k, so that one comes out of play, and he gets $1,798 befire he even plays a hand with his bigger 1b stack.

Nadav Bitton is the big stack to start Day 2, and he’s the biggest by quite a bit. He bagged up 712k, while second place in 1b, Colten Yamagishi, bagged 552k. Rob Charlebois (1b, 552.5k) & Eric Wasylenko (1a leader, 515k) also bagged up more than half a million for Day 2.
