Day 1 of Event: #22: $200,000 Tune Up came to a close after just over eight and a half hours of play with Germany's "kellerassel0" on top of the end of day chip counts. Rounding out the top three stacks are "PrincKrason" (8,153,068) and Canada's "Gaby2008" (5,429,068).
Only nine players remain and they have all booked their seat to Day 2's final table. All players who have made Day 2 have secured a minimum prize of $2,620 but of course all eyes will be on the title and $27,620 up top.
Play resumes on Monday, January 24 at 7 p.m. GMT with the action being broadcasted, with a half hour delay, on 888poker's Twitch channel.
By the end of the late registration period, there were a total of 1859 entries meaning that the tournament had a slight overlay and failed to surpass it's $200,000 guarantee. The top 240 players were guaranteed some return on their investment with a $300 min-cash.
888poker Stream Team member Jordan "BanfieldJ" Banfield hopped into the event but was an early casualty while 888poker ambassador Vivian "Vivi.888." Saliba placed in 165th for $320.
