14 players have bagged their chips at the end of Day 1 of the High Roller Event. This, however, does not mean that only 14 players will start Day 2, because registration remains open until the first Day 2 hand is dealt.
Jamie Sequeira joined the Event about 30 minutes before the end, after busting in the money in the WPT Montreal. He only played a few orbits, but he had time to catch up to the 185K average. He busted Hamidreza Kamali, who then came back to his spot, the last player to re-enter the Event. The money went in on a flop.

Martin Raus had a last minute boost, and because Alex Difelice did the opposite, Raus bagged the lead. They are both over 300K, very healthy going into tomorrow where blinds start at 2K/4K/4K.
Day 2 starts at 1pm tomorrow afternoon, with a full player re-seating. Here are some recent photos of the 14 players that bagged chips:
