Day 2 Recap

More than 4,000 new entrants joined the action between the time Day 1 ended and Day 2 began to bring the final count up to 38,660 entrants with 12,570 players in action.

This increased the prize pool up to $1,933,000 to demolish the $1,250,000 guarantee on the event. A total of 5,463 players were guaranteed at least a min-cash with the $186,841 set aside for the eventual winner on Wednesday, Sept. 22.

It took less than two hours for the bubble to break with Ukraine's "vanja-berkyt" being the last player to exit the tournament empty-handed.

Five of the six PokerStars Ambassadors that started Day 2 were also unable to cash including Arlie "Prince Pablo" Shaban, Felix "xflixx" Schneiders, Tom “MajinBoob” Hayward, Georgina "GJReggie" James, and James "OP-Poker James" Mackenzie.

Mason "Pye_Face21" Pye had a better fate than his fellow Ambassadors and not only managed a min-cash but laddered up before exiting in 2,477th place for $166.
