The field will combine for the first time when Day 2 play kicks off in about one hour's time. Accumulating 95,000 chips during any of the Day 1 flights (or almost five times the starting stack) got a player into the top ten in Day 2 chip counts. The players that managed that feat are:
Jason Gray - 184,000 (Day 1b leader)
Gavin Griffin - 134,700
Phil Willcocks - 129,000 (Day 1a leader)
Vince Ha - 123,800
Manish Sansi - 103,600 (Day 1c leader)
Steven Musca - 103,200
Daniel Kowalski - 98,500
Patrick Carron - 98,300
Christopher Lee - 95,900
Wang Che Jung - 95,300
