Many notable players showed up to take a shot at a MISCOOP title with many failing to find the run good needed, which included David "DavidKayePoker" Kaye, Daniel "BiggYBlains22" Sears, Eric "Emans5000" Manssur and Henry "xlzou1990" Zou.
As the virtual bodies continued to fall at a rapid pace, the money bubble quickly approached and in Level 22 "DiamondDave65 bubbled the tournament leaving the remaining 116 players in the money. From there, very few familiar names still remained and they started to drop from the field as well as Matthew "Luna_Nova21" Davis (101st Place - $682.74), Patrick "MSPT-HOF" Steele (97th Place - $682.74), David "steadymobbin420" Poppenfuse (63rd Place - $834.70), Mike "PeppSee" Long (59th Place - $834.70), K.C. "Legendkiller88" Vaughan (58th Place - $834.70), and Mike "Mike Parrott" Parrott (39th Place - $1,020.51) all got a piece of the prize pool but fell short of a Day 2 birth.
Play continued with only 36 players remaining at the hard stop for Day 1 with "Orlimar17" taking a comfortable 9,490,686 into Day 2 as the chip leader. Rounding out the top five stacks include "Kell_19red" (8,076,456), "VT3133" (5,470,291), Andrew "autokorekt" Korby (4,648,119), and "Stozypokes" (4,339,061).
