Alongside the current chip leaders, a whole slew of familiar faces have already advanced to Day 2. Among them are Ryan Bownds (279,500), Michael Hahn, (279,500), Tom Rafferty (263,000), 2009 Aussie Millions champion Stewart Scott (253,000), Ash Gupta (252,000), Andrew White (231,000), Billy Argyros (220,000), Michel Bouskila (212,000), Nauv Kashyap (206,500), last year’s runner-up in this event Matt Pongrass (183,500), Hamish Crawshaw (182,500), Dean Blatt (182,000) and 2019 WPT Gold Coast champion Hari Varma (178,500).
All Day 1’s play out over the course of fourteen 45-minute levels and every player begins with 30,000 starting chips. Late registration will remain open until the end of level 6. This is everyone's last chance to find a bag as they try to progress to Day 2.
