Today's Action
With all those extra entries, the tournament kicked off with 2,611 players who would all be trying to fight their way to the top 863 as that would mean that they would cash for at least $1,141. The players dropped like flies on the road to the money. Former WCOOP Main Event Champion Steven "SvZff" van Zadelhoff busted in the first level of the day and was followed by many familiar names.
Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon, Dzmitry "Colisea" Urbanovich, Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi, Michael "merla888" Gathy, Gianluca "Tankanza" Speranza, Kenny "SpaceyFCB" Hallaert, and Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot are just some of the players to bust before the first break of the day.
But it didn't stop there, the elimination kept coming in in a quick pace. Three hours after the tournament had started, it was almost time for the bubble. Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz busted to Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura just before the bubble. In the end, it would be "aJarov" who would actually bubble in a three-way all-in situation.
PokerStars Ambassador Ramon "RamonColillas" Colillas fell to Luke "LFmagic" Fields when he flopped a set but Fields had turned the flush. "234241234214432" busted Niall "firaldo87" Farrell and "10rmc10.com" in the same hand and"Strekoza85" took out Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer for example.
In the end, it would take just over five hours for the field to be reduced to the final 80 players who will return for Day 3 at 7:05 p.m. CEST on Tuesday, September 22. The returning players will finish the last 16 minutes of Level 38 which has a small blind of 125,000, a big blind of 250,000 with a running ante of 32,500. After this level is done, the duration will go back up to 25 minutes each and play will continue until the final table has been reached.
All players have secured at least $3,177 but they will all be wanting to reach the final table where they will win at least $33,638 while the first-place comes with a prize of $504,584 and PokerNews will be there from the first bustout throught the climb through the pay ladder so make sure to follow along.
