Just over a third (223) of the field would see a return on their investment and it was "AC" who saw the biggest bang for their back. Thanks to winning the fourth progressive bounty event of the series, "AC" etched their name in the WPT history books as well as picking up ¥24,821 ($3,888) for their first-place finish.

Event 9: Main Event Day 1a and 1b

The first two flights of the Main Event have wrapped up with 249 players already booking their place into Day 2. The ¥10 million ($1,566,353) guaranteed Main Event comes with a buy-in of ¥2,200 ($345) and there are bounties of the same value on the Poker King Ambassadors. Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius, Daniel Dvoress, Steve Aoki and Lynn Gilmartin all took part in Day 1a but it would only be Gilmartin (84,900) who survived the first hurdle.
