Event 6 beat all expectations and drew 301 players to the $1,100 buy-in two-day tournament. They created a prize pool worth $291970 and most of that remains as 29 players return for Day 2.

Ricardo Eyzaguirre leads the field but there are plenty of tough players trying to track him down. With deep stacks and 40-minute levels, it is still anyone’s game to win.
