The event attracted 3,253 players, making a total prize pool of $2,927,700 and walking away from Day 1 as one of the chip leaders was former double WSOP bracelet winner Timur Margolin who bagged a whopping 1,333,000 in chips. He won't sit too comfortably on Day 2, however, with Jorden Fox (1,075,000) and Christopher Andler (1,062,000) not too far behind.

The 430 remaining players will return for Day 2 on Monday, June 10, at noon local time and will play down until there is a winner crowned. When they return, play will resume at Level 21 which features 40-minute levels with a small blind of 8,000, big blind of 16,000, and a big blind ante of 16,000. Twenty levels of play are scheduled with a 15-minute break after every three levels and a 60-minute dinner break after the ninth level at approximately 6:30 p.m.

Misunderstanding Gives Ho The Double Up After Controversial Hand

Nível 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Maria Ho was involved in a controversial hand involving one other player. The board showed and both players had their hands tabled.

Maria Ho:
Opponent:

After the floor was called over PokerNews was able to catch up on all the action and this is what happened.

Maria Ho opened with a raise to 105,000 from middle position leaving 25,000 chips behind and action folded around to the small blind player who asked the dealer how much the raise was. After getting confirmation on the raise amount the small blind player announced "call" and the players tabled their hands. After the board ran out Ho assumed that since the players had tabled their hands she was getting an extra 25,000 since both players tabled their hands preflop, while her opponent was confused as he thought she was all in. The floors decision was that Ho's opponent accepted the action as soon as he tabled his hand and thus had to pay the extra 25,000 giving Ho the double up.
