Several WSOP bracelet winners failed to make Day 2, including Jimmy Setna, Bradley Anderson, Josh Remitio, and Tyler Patterson.
The 20 remaining players found themselves in the money after Kevin Berman flopped two pair to crack Zachary Donovan's pocket aces, leaving Donovan with just 2,000 chips. In the very next hand, Donovan was eliminated, bursting the money bubble and ending the night.
Players who did not make Day 2 will have one last opportunity during the final Day 1 flight, taking place on Sunday, November 3, at noon local time. Participants will start with a 30,000 chip stack, and the action will consist of 30-minute levels. The day will conclude once 15 percent of the field remains, with late registration open until the end of Level 10.

Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing K♠10♠8♥.
After the flop Kevin Berman was all in for 82,000, and Zachary Donovan called to put him at risk.
Kevin Berman: K♣10♦ 
Zachary Donovan: A♠A♥
Berman had the aces on the cusp of being cracked, and once the board ran out Q♥ on the turn, and 9♦ on the river, Berman did crack the aces of Donavon to give him the double up, and leave Donavon with just 2,000 chips.
The very next hand Donavon was all in for his last 2,000 chips and was eliminated to burst the bubble.

Mike Holtz: 5♠5♥
Alessandro Orefice: A♣K♦
On the stone bubble it was a flip for Holtz tournament life, and once the board ran out 6♦5♣3♣K♥9♣ Holtz flopped a set to double up, and avoid being the bubble boy.
Level 16

Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action folded to John Berreman in the cutoff who raised to 8,000, which was called by Ralph Porter on the button. Then Keith McKuin three-bet all in for his stack of 370,000 in the small blind, which was snap called by the big blind Nicholas Lowe. Both Berreman and Porter quickly folded, leaving the players heads up, with Lowe at risk.
Nicholas Lowe: A♠A♣
Keith McKuin: K♠9♠
McKuin ran into the pocket aces of Lowe, and once the board ran out 6♣5♠5♣8♠8♥ the pocket aces of Lowe were still best, to give him the double up.
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action was picked up on the turn with roughly 85,000 in the pot and the board showing Q♥10♠6♣A♥.
Nicholas Lowe bet out 40,000 in the small blind and Keith McKuin called on the button.
The river was the 9♥ and Lowe checked to McKuin who bet to put Lowe all in for his stack of 135,000. This sent Lowe in the tank who was visibly flustered by the bet. After agonizing over the decision, Lowe eventually folded after nearly two minutes, to give the pot to McKuin.
