East Heads the Counts After GOLIATH Day 1d
After another busy day at the GOLIATH, just 102 players survived from a field of 1,319 to make it through to Day 2.
Leading the way is Joseph East with 1,353,000, with Zak Lung Ly (1,000,000) the only other player bagging a seven-figure stack.
Also making it through is two-time GUKPT champion Calogero Morreale, who took down GUKPT Luton earlier this year. He bagged 600,000, good enough for 60 big blinds heading into Day 2.
