There were 373 entries on Day 1A, and after 11 levels of play, 118 players survived to bag up chips for Day 2, which begins on Saturday at 11:30 am.

The prizepool is guaranteed to be worth at least $1 million, and we’ve already exceeded that number with nearly $1.2 million in the prizepool. Day 1B begins tomorrow at 11:30 am, and we expect to at least double the prizepool to more than $2 million.

1.  Punnat Punsri  –  528,500  (176 bb)
2.  Trung Ha Nguyen  –  489,000  (163 bb)
3.  Amit Kaushik  –  403,000  (134 bb)
