Day 1 attracted 599 entries, and before the start of today, another 65 players decided to jump in last minute to get to 664 entries in total to get to a prize pool of $6,640,000. This meant that 87 players would get paid at least $21,328 while the first-place prize everyone aspires to win is a whopping $1,130,396.
Borlan grabbed the chip lead when he eliminated "jancsi69" in 43rd place. "jancsi69" had flopped a full house but Borlan had hit the runner-runner quads to scoop the monsterpot. Following Borlan in the top three are David "MissOracle" Yan (13,782,929) and "kZhh" (11,044,677). Bruno "great dant" Volkmann is the only other player to return for Day 3 with more than 10 million.

Twenty-one players went to bed with chips after Day 1 of the 2021 PokerStars SCOOP-93-H: $10,300 PLO [6-Max, PLO Main Event], but by the time play began on Day 2, twenty-four more names joined those ranks, building an overall prize pool of $1,350,000 between 134 entrants. After a roller coaster six-hour day, the final table of seven is set, with Joao "vovo_leo" Studart and a stack of 7,039,639 leading the pack.

Studart also was able to dispatch "Johan5390", Alexey "LuckyGump" Makarov and "rObetOblancO" once the money was reached and used those chips to fuel his way to the overnight chip lead.
"LamassuShedu" sits in second, while Canadian pro and two-time WSOP Bracelet winner Mark "AceSpades11" Radoja, who was one of the twenty-four max late registrants, is in third.
