partypoker Ambassadors Mikita Badziakouski (5,716,808) and Kristen Bicknell (2,461,804) have made it through to Day 2 while things didn't go well for Matt Staples, John Duthie, Isaac Haxton, Joao Simao, Joni Jouhikimainen, and Patrick Leonard won't be returning to try and win their share of the prize pool.

Mary Pudmoreff won her Main Event seat when she was selected by Kristen Bicknell on Twitter and even though she took out Timothy Adams and stayed alive a few times, her run came to an end when her stack went in on the turn with pocket kings. Unfortunately for her, Dean Arsenie had hit a set of tens to send the Canadian out of the tournament without cashing either.

When play resumes on Day 2, the level duration will be increased to 30 minutes each. The first level of the day features a small blind of 70,000, a big blind of 140,000, and a running ante of 17,500. Ten levels of play are on the menu before the remaining players will break for Day 3.
