Georgina "GJReggie" James open-jammed for 20,500 from the hijack. "Majkelrr" jammed over the top for 26,500 from the button and the rest of the table folded.
Georgina "GJReggie" James:
Majkelrr:
James hit a flush on the flop but her opponent hit a better flush after the came on the turn. The river didn't complete a straight flush for James and she was eliminated short of the money.
Arlie "Prince Pablo" Shaban lost his stack around the same time to leave seven of the nine PokerStars Ambassadors to play in the Sunday Million remaining.

Late registration is now closed just before the start of Day 2 with 69,876 entrants generating a $13,975,200 prize pool. A total of 17,516 players will start the day in the hopes of at least a min-cash of $412 paid out to the top 9,971 players.
Tomorrow's winner is slated to bank $1,514,920 with the runner-up also becoming a millionaire with second place awarding $1,035,358. Of course, this is barring any deals made at tomorrow's final table where at least $50,000 will need to be played for to the winner.
A deal is the most likely course of events if history has anything to say about it as nine of the past ten Sunday Million Anniversary events have resulted in money being chopped up at the final table.

The Sunday Million has been the flagship event at PokerStars for 15 years ever since "aaaaaaaa" outlasted a field of 5,893 players to win the $173,844 top prize during the inaugural Sunday Million on March 6, 2006.
PokerStars is celebrating this milestone in a big way with a blowout Sunday Million 15th Anniversary featuring a massive $12.5 million guarantee for a $215 buy-in. The event began on Sunday, March 21, and will continue for two more days until a winner is crowned on Tuesday, March 23.
Many players will be guaranteed a massive payday - especially for the top two players that will be guaranteed at least $1 million each!
The prize pool has already been smashed with already more than 65,000 entrants creating a prize pool of more than $13 million and counting with late registration open until the start of Day 2 today at 5 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. EDT).
PokerNews will be live reporting the final two days of this epic event until a winner is crowned.
Day 1 featured 18 blind levels of 20-minutes each with nearly 13,000 players advancing to Day 2. This number will grow as there are still players late-entering and re-entering with late-registration open for 24 hours after the start of Day 1, although they will have to begin with a starting stack of 20,000 for 10 big blinds.
There are still plenty of satellites running if you are looking to get into the action for a fraction of the cost.

Nine PokerStars Ambassadors entered the Sunday Million 15th Anniversary on Day 1. Tom "MajinBoob" Hayward shined the brightest after running up his only bullet into 172,428 in chips for 86 big blinds heading into Day 2.
Lex "L.Veldhuis" Veldhuis (139,563) and Fintan "easywithaces" Hand (114,488) entered four times before advancing to Day 2, while Ben "Spraggy" Spragg (23,600) used three bullets to bring slightly more than a starting stack into Day 2.
Despite his short stack, Spragg did provide one of the more memorable moments on Day 1 live on his Twitch stream when he got paid with quad aces in a hand with aces versus kings.
Felix "xflixx" Schneiders (149,872) and Ramon "RamonColillas" Colillas (85,772) were both able to make it through Day 1 without re-entering.
Meanwhile, Arlie "Prince Pablo" Shaban (three bullets), Mason "Pye_Face21" Pye (two bullets), and Georgina "GJReggie" James (one bullet) all entered yesterday but failed to make it to the end of the day. We may not have seen the last of this trio as they still have time to get back into the action before the start of Day 2.
