Players who survive to Day 2 can not play in any of the remaining Day 1 flights. They had the option of forfeiting their stack at the end of the day to try again, but nobody took that option at the end of play today.

These players have tomorrow off, and will return on Wednesday at 1:00 pm to begin Day 2. It’s worth noting that Ari Engel is playing in both of today’s events, and now that he has bagged chips in Event 1, he can place all of his focus on Event 2, which will play down to the final table tonight.
