Six flights of Event 5 drew more than 1,800 entrants over the two starting days but only 183 were able to make it through the first 14 levels of the tournament. Those players return today for Day 2 and we are scheduled to play down to a champion later today.
They created a prize pool worth $216,480 and the last 108 players will earn a piece. Those who min-cash will take home $346 while the eventual champion banks nearly $50,000.
Ty Akbasli bagged up the biggest stack of all the starting flights and returns as the only player over 400,000. He’s followed by Marc Levy with 323,000 with Olvenso Savoie, Evan Young, Joseph Lachovic rounding out the top five.
Also still alive for the title are Wally Maddah, Zo Karim, Carlos Loving, Johanssy Joseph, Kim Stone, and WSOP bracelet winner Joe Ebanks.
Players are finding their new seats, unbagging their chips, and they will be underway in a moment.
