The day began with 260 runners and it was not long before the five-hour late registration period closed, ending with 1,516 entry slips sold to create a $1,516,000 prize pool that flew on by the $1.25 million guarantee that was set. It took under an hour for the money to be reached and the 191 who made it were then guaranteed at least a min-cash worth $1,130.
Only 85 of those managed to book a ticket onto Day 2 and have all guaranteed themselves at least a $1,787 paystub. All will have their sights set on the $99,228 first-place money, along with all the juicy bounties en route to a WCOOP title.
The second day will begin tomorrow September 14, at 5:05 p.m. GMT and blinds will resume at 15,000/30,000 with a 3,750 ante. The 85 runners will not stop playing until a champion has been crowned, pulling in all the plentiful bounties for their feat.
