Korby Bags Top Five Stack as 36 Players Advance to Day 2

Anthony Thompson

Day 1 of the MISCOOP Main Event has wrapped up for the night after seven and a half hours of play. The $200K guarantee was reached in the later stages of the tournament and the $243,880 prize pool became official after 871 total entries (597 entries and 274 re-entries) were logged.

Once registration had ended, only 278 players remained and each knew they needed to make it into the top 116 to receive a piece of the prize pool.

Many notable players showed up to take a shot at a MISCOOP title with many failing to find the run good needed, which included David "DavidKayePoker" Kaye, Daniel "BiggYBlains22" Sears, Eric "Emans5000" Manssur and Henry "xlzou1990" Zou.

As the virtual bodies continued to fall at a rapid pace, the money bubble quickly approached and in Level 22 "DiamondDave65 bubbled the tournament leaving the remaining 116 players in the money. From there, very few familiar names still remained and they started to drop from the field as well as Matthew "Luna_Nova21" Davis (101st Place - $682.74), Patrick "MSPT-HOF" Steele (97th Place - $682.74), David "steadymobbin420" Poppenfuse (63rd Place - $834.70), Mike "PeppSee" Long (59th Place - $834.70), K.C. "Legendkiller88" Vaughan (58th Place - $834.70), and Mike "Mike Parrott" Parrott (39th Place - $1,020.51) all got a piece of the prize pool but fell short of a Day 2 birth.

Play continued with only 36 players remaining at the hard stop for Day 1 with "Orlimar17" taking a comfortable 9,490,686 into Day 2 as the chip leader. Rounding out the top five stacks include "Kell_19red" (8,076,456), "VT3133" (5,470,291), Andrew "autokorekt" Korby (4,648,119), and "Stozypokes" (4,339,061).

Day 2 of the Main Event will start Monday, May 25, at 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST), and PokerNews will be providing updates until an eventual champion is crowned. Blinds will remain 15-minutes in length and action will start off from Level 28 (40,000/80,000/10,000).

Make sure to come back to PokerNews tomorrow to find out who will be crowned the inaugural MICOOP Main Event Champion.
