On the other end of the leaderboard is Solange Lucas, who survived this flight with just 3,000 in chips — half of a big blind.

Amazingly, Lucas won’t even be the short stack when Day 2 begins tomorrow, as Peter Pilz survived Flight B with a single 1K chip — just one-sixth of a big blind.

Solange Lucas  –  3,000  (0.5 bb)
Peter Pilz  –  1,000  (0.167 bb)

The final starting flight (Flight F) is already underway, with registration open until 10:30 pm.

Day 2 begins tomorrow (Sunday) at 1:00 pm, with the players battling over the prizepool that has already doubled the guarantee, worth more than $1 million and climbing.
