Four grueling Day 1 flights are in the books and it's time for everyone who made it through to combine for a chance at some serious money. It's time for Day 2 of iNinja World Championship, which takes place at Planet Hollywood and will see 211 players out of 1,140 return for a chance at the $250,000 guaranteed prize pool that has ballooned to around $400,000.
Official payout numbers should be available almost immediately at the start of Day 2 play, and the money bubble should be hit pretty early in the day.
Matt Lushin will be coming in with the most chips at 439,000, trailed by Jeremy Kerbel (418,500), Jeff Sluzinski (346,000), and Praveen Lokam (315,000). Some others to watch for include Jason Smith (223,500), Michael Sanders (190,000), Matt Reed (161,000), Ryan Phan (160,500), and iNinja Pros Aaron Johnson (137,000), John Reading (136,500), and Vlad Revniaga (131,000).
Things get underway in Level 16 (2,000/4,000/500) and go until a winner is determined according to the schedule, but that may prove to be impossible with such a large field.
