Welcome to Day 2A of Event #3: BIG 50 - $500 No-Limit Hold'em! The prize pool for the players who have survived Day 1a has been confirmed as being $2,986,660. There were 6,095 entries in total with 5,159 unique players and 936 re-entries. Out of this record-breaking field, 1,580 players are returning at 5 p.m. local time to try and get into the money.

Cosimo Bisogno claimed the Day 1a chip lead with 932,000 in chips, followed by Luis Pinho and Andrew Baldwin. Other notable players to keep an eye on today include Upeshka De Silva, Matt Glantz, Men Nguyen, Dan Zack, Kathy Liebert, John Racener, and many more players.

Originally the restart was scheduled to take place at 2 p.m. but due to the success of the events and the huge numbers of players it has attracted, it has been rescheduled for 5 p.m. as tables need to become available. Day 1b already has over 4,000 players with more players waiting for a seat for their reentry or late registration. When players return, they will continue play in Level 13 which features a small blind of 3,000, big blind of 5,000, and a big blind ante of 5,000. Eight levels of play are scheduled today with a 20-minute break after every two levels.
