After going through five exciting Day 1 flights for the WPTDeepStacks $1500 + $150 tournament, we have finally arrived at the first major milestone: the beginning of Day 2!
A total of 896 entries were recorded over the last few days, of which 283 remain. These players will all be making an attempt to win their piece of the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. In fact, the prize pool has already grown past the minimum number of entries required to hit the guaranteed $1,000,000, so there will be even more to go around for those players that finish in the money.
Today the players will have their work cut out for them, as there will be ten 60-minute levels in addition as well as 4 breaks throughout the day. The top 111 players will be paid, with the minimum payout being $2,700 for the player finishing in 111th, and a top prize of $222,000 for the winner of the tournament.
The leader going into Day 2 is Laurence Grondin, who started with 327,000 out of a total of 26,880,000 chips in play. Good luck to all our players today!
