They're on to Day 2! At 2pm local time, the surviving players from Days 1a and 1b will combine and return to the tables to play another six 75-minute levels in the 2017 PokerStars Championship Macau Main Event in the City of Dreams.

There have been over 500 entries so far and about 350 of those still have chips for today's Day 2. The first-ever PokerStars Championship Macau is an unqualified success. Registration remains open through the first two levels today, allowing the field to still grow.
