Six starting flights and a long Day 2 were not enough to crown a champion in our $1 Million Guarantee opening event. The big payouts from the $1.5 million prize pool are still waiting for the last ten players returning today for the final table.

Of those ten players, six have already captured major SHRP titles including chip leader (and WSOP bracelet winner) Peter Eichhardt. Mike Ortiz, Nicholas Mahabee, Josias Santos, Steven Bennett, and former November Niner Jerry Wong also own SHRP trophies and going for another.

All four players are guaranteed to walk away with at least $13,635 but they all want the $260,252 top place prize. Eichhardt has a huge lead going for the big money but it still anyone’s game with the deep stacks remaining.
