After a full hour of play since the bubble burst, and with the end of the night in view, there have already been over 60 eliminations in the Main Event, bringing the field down to a very manageable 224 players as the tournament director made his announcement to play the final hands of the day. This has certainly come along with considerable chip-ups by some of the largest stacks, so when the final counts for Day 2 are released after Day 2 comes to a close, we should see some huge stacks that players will take to Day 3.
Two players in particular were very happy that the bubble didn’t play out any longer – Tomislav Pavkovic and Ken Stutz were both extremely short when the bubble arrived but were able to stay alive just long enough to get into the money before the blinds came back around to them.
