Canada's "beriuzy" Leads the Way into Day 2
Level 15
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante
The opening day of SCOOP 108-H: Main Event is now in the books, and with entries still open until the start of Day 2, there are 518 entries in the game. That breaks the $5m guarantee by a small amount and has already grown a bit since the final hand ended with 515.
Canada's Rayan "beriuzy" Chamas is the chip leader going into the second day of play with 2,372,359 but there are five other players with more than 2 million chips to start Day 2. Quite a few of the PokerStars Team Pro members got into this event, but at the end of the day, only Lex "L.Veldhuis" Veldhuis had chips remaining, a bit less than double the start stack.
Ben "Spraggy" Spragg had a particularly rough, and quick, go of it in the $10k today. He tweeted that he played exactly one hand before busting.

Action of the Day
The game got underway at 12:30 ET with 173 entries, but the field grew steadily throughout the day, ending with 515 entries when the final hand was dealt. That was enough to put $5.15 million into the prize pool, but that will grow before entries close at the start of Day 2.
Players weren't really afraid to get their chips in early on, depsite the $10k buy-in. PokerStars Team Pro Lex "L.Veldhuis" Veldhuis five-bet shoved 179k in Level 2 to take down a big pot and he was able to run that through to a Day 2 stack.
He wasn't the only Team PokerStars player to enter the game today, but he was the last one standing. Sam "SamSquid" Grafton made the second deepest run, but he couldn't quite make it to a bag. He was in the top five during Level 2 after he rivered a flush but he busted near the end of the night.
Among the other Team members in play today were Alejandro "[Papo]AR" Lococo, Ramon "RamonColillas" Colillas, Rafael "GM_VALTER" Moraes, Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot, Sebastian "peace&loove'' Huber, and Fintan "EasyWithAces" Hand.
The chip leader going into the second day was a late-comer to the big stacks. "beriuzy" first found a big stack early in Level 14 and was among the first players stacking up 2 million chips. Day 2 action kicks off at 12:35 ET on Monday, May 29 and you can follow the action right here on PokerNews.

"tobinater1" Doubles, Romanovsky Rebuys
Level 15
: 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante
Roman "RomeOpro" Romanovsky's stack was a fraction of its former self when he shoved 67,349 from the hijack. "tobinater1" called from the big blind and had the best pair with sixes into deuces. The ducks couldn't swim and Romanovsky fired a second bullet, adding to his new stack almost immediately.
