Flight 1G Chipleader Charlemagne Benjamin

After 10 hands of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, it finally burst with 126 players surviving to Day 2, which begins Sunday at 1:00 pm.

Action ended with 24:01 remaining in Level 18, but the blinds for the start of Day 2 will roll back to the earliest finish from the eight starting flights, so they will be no higher than 3,000-6,000 with a 6,000 ante.

The full list of official chip counts will be posted soon, but here is a preview of the six players who bagged at least 500K:

1.  Charlemagne Benjamin  –  1,242,000  (207 bb)
2.  Wagner Wysotchanski  –  832,000  (139 bb)
3.  Jose Rivera  –  611,000  (102 bb)
4.  George Manikas  –  584,000  (97 bb)
5.  Luca Iovino  –  578,000  (96 bb)
6.  Shaun Morrow  –  512,000  (85 bb)

Flight H is already underway, with registration open until about 9:30 pm. This is the last chance to enter, and the prizepool has already more than doubled the guarantee to be worth more than $2 million.
