After over 9 hours each in both Day 1d and 1e, the final two of the five starting flights of the $600 Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship came to a close today a little after 1 a.m. A total of 834 players entered the tournament today but only 105 had what it takes the field to find a bag and continue on to Day 2.

As for the tournament as a whole, through all starting flights, 1,592 players gave it their best shot (or not so best shot) to make it to Day 2 of this record-breaking event, but only 203 have found a bag to return with tomorrow. These players have all locked up a guaranteed score of $860, but everyone’s sights are set on the $137,375 sitting at the top.

Going into Day 2 with the most ammo will be chip leader Robert Fett from 1c with an impressive stack of 1,017,000. Right behind him is Miralem Mujkic with 674,000 and rounding out the top three is Ralph Smith who bagged 654,000.

Other notable names to continue on include Brett Murray (458,000), Jeff Platt (352,000), Tyler Patterson (170,000), Stephen Song (165,000), and Harley Brooks (139,000).

Unfortunately, as with all tournaments, there were numerous names that fell by the wayside after grinding it out over the past few days. Chad Holloway was one of these names who thought the last and final flight would be the one where he would claim a bag, but alas he suffered a brutal knockout toward the end of the night at the hands of Pedram Ghassemi. Others that join him in this fate include Terrance Reid, Alexandria Loncar, and Eric Danis.

Genova Ships on Yang

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Level 16: Blinds 4k/8k/8k

Several players limped for 8,000 preflop until action got to Samoua Yang in the big blind who raised to 25,000. Only Joshua Morrow in the hi-jack and Michael Genova in the cutoff made the call to see a flop of 4K7.

Yang then placed out another wager of 25,000 and Morrow quickly folded, but then Genova moved all in, covering Yang.

Yang thought about it for a few seconds but ultimately decided to fold and the pot was shipped over to Genova.
