Action on Day 1 got underway at 1:05 p.m. eastern, and after almost 4 hours of late registration, a total of 2,833 entries broke the $500K guarantee by more than $66,000. That meant 413 players would share in the prizes.
It only took about 2 more hours to play into the money, and once the bubble burst, things moved even faster. By the time they finished the first day of play another 2 hours later, there were just 130 players left in the game.
Everyone coming back for Day 2 is guaranteed at least $716, but they are all eyeing the more than $82K up top for the win. Join PokerNews tomorrow, starting at 1:05 p.m. eastern, as they play down to a winner, and find out who turns $215 into more than $82K.
