Day 1B of the Million North America was a tremendous success. 589 entries were accounted for, and with yesterday’s 372, we now have 961 entries live, and 46 entries online, for total of 1005! This number is not quite final, as registration will re-open tomorrow for a duration of 2 levels, after which we will be able to publish the official prize pool and payouts.
256 players bagged chips today, and will join the 137 that made the cut in Day 1A, as well as the 17 combined Day 2 qualifiers from the online starting flights. These numbers possibly contain duplicates, so we cannot at this moment add them to know the number of players that will start tomorrow, but the size of the Day 2 field and the seating arrangements will be published tonight.
As far as the results of Day 1B are concerned, the full list has been added to the Combined Day 1 Results list, but Mike Vesia (8,200,000), Rodney Ramalho (8,100,000), and Kelly Kellner (7,519,000) all moved into the overall top 5 with Mike and Rodney in the #1 and #2 position overall. Lurking right behind these leaders, however is the hugely talented Darren Elias with 6,885,000.
We’ll be publishing the full seating draw for Day 2 shortly.
See you at 12pm sharp tomorrow!
