Matthew Leecy

With 46 players remaining and 43 advancing to Day 2, players were getting prepared for a possible long hand-for-hand process. But it never got that far.

Three players were eliminated within a minute of each other, two at one table, and Flight F jumped straight into the money with no sweat, except for those three.

Reigning PPO Champion Matthew Leecy continued a great day and bagged the Flight F lead with 480,000.

We will post the full Day 2 seat draw and chip counts as soon as they are available.

Michael Silva

Another break has come and gone and it should be the tournament’s last pause. We thought that yesterday but they dragged it out into Level 17 before stopping action. The field should get down to 43 before another two hours go in the books, but anything can happen.

Michael Silva is the late leader with 341,000 but Kara Margraf is not far behind with 327,000. Everyone is trying to make the money and also catch Matt Sundberg for the overall chip leader with 667,000.

Kara Margraf
