After 10 starting flights of the 5-Year Extravaganza, the surviving players are back to continue the tournament, as Day 2 takes place tonight at 7pm. All players returning tonight have already earned a spot in the money, locking in at least $150, while the winner is looking to pocket a huge $18,000 cash prize!
163 players have made it through Day 1, but since 2 players have qualified twice (Roger Lamarre and Mario Page), only 161 will be taking their seats tonight, while these two players will earn themselves a minimum-cash for their extra stacks.
Play will be 9-handed tonight, and the tournament resumes at level 17. The plan is to play down until the final table of 10 players, who will then bag and tag their chips onto Day 3 tomorrow, where the tournament will play down until conclusion.
Good luck to all the players in Day 2!
