The prizes are now over $200k with 110 entries on the board for today’s flight, and 213 total across both days. This is a best-stack forward event, meaning players can bag stacks on both starting days. If they do, they will play the big stack in Sunday’s Day 2, while receiving a min-cash for the short stack as the chips are taken out of play at the beginning of the day.
One player looking to take advantage of that feature is Kyle Bonazzo. He already has a seat for tomorrow, which he secured in Day 1a, but he was the shortest stack of the day, ending with barely more than a starting stack after a brutal endgame that saw multiple short stacks trying to outlast each other. Bonazzo is in action today, and ironically sitting next to the seat he occupied for most of Day 1a. He spent most of Day 1a in seat 1 on Table 1, and he’s back in Table 1 today, but in seat 2 instead.
Among the other players I’ve spotted today are Michael Smith, Josh Wallace, Deven Lane (who was the bubble on 1a in brutal fashion), Ryan Comely, Bernice McLennan, Shan Yeping, George Broumas, and Ali Khani. That’s FAR from an exhaustive list, as the room is full of familiar faces at the moment.
