The Main Event continued to gain momentum on Day 1D with a huge field that drew 620 entries. This flight brought out lots of players for their first attempt, but many players took the opportunity to fire another bullet, even if they had already bagged chips in a previous flight, in the hope of providing an extra stack for backup on Day 2. With 620,000,000 in chips in play, there was more than enough to go around.
The action was aggressive from the first level, as most players were clearly prepared to re-enter if necessary. Three-bets were the norm and four-bets became surprisingly common by the end of the day. As the 92 re-entries showed, the players came out firing and ready to reload.
When the dust settled after eight levels, Michael Sklenicka emerged as the chip leader with 10,195,000 in chips for Day 2. Thanks to the huge field, there were enough chips in play to provide big stacks for many players; 15 players bagged more than 5,000,000 in chips.
Day 2A starts tomorrow at noon, picking up at level 9 and allows players to enter and re-enter until the end of level 12. It will pick up where today left off, with a huge field, lots of action and millionaires in the making!
