The final 44 players in the Main Event are now back in their seats for Day 2. Level 15 is nearly complete, and they’ll move straight into Level 16, with the first break of the day coming after Level 18. Early action saw the first exit from the game — short-stack Johnny Yu got his 42.5k in within the first 10 minutes of play and couldn’t find a double.
Mike Malm took the 45th-place spot with his small bag from Day 1a, while Yu ended his run in 44th.
