Once the Money Bubble burst for Flight G, the remaining 125 players bagged up their chips for Day 2, which begins Sunday at 1:00 pm. Everyone who bagged chips will finish in the money, though those payouts won’t be known until registration has closed for the final starting flight later tonight.

Action ended in Level 18, but the blinds for the start of Day 2 will roll back to wherever they were for the flight that finished earliest. Right now that’s Flight C, which finished with 2:20 remaining in Level 16, with blinds at 3,000-5,000 with a 5,000 ante.

The full list of official chip counts for this flight will be posted soon, but here is a preview of the nine players who bagged at least 400K, with big blinds calculated at the 3,000-5,000 level:

1.  Alex Kimpel  –  670,000  (134 bb)
2.  Justin Hall  –  635,000  (127 bb)
