Five minutes into Level 15, Flight A reached 22 players and tournament staff put the field into hand-for-hand mode. It only took two rounds to get there and the last 21 players are now in the money and advancing to Day 2 on Sunday at noon.

Bryce McVay took the lead in the middle of the day and it held the rest of the way despite a charge from AJ Kelsall. McVay put 506,000 in his bag while Kelsall was second with 448,000.

Other notable big bags include Brian Walsingham (366,000), Jonmikel MacNichols (364,000), Theirry Shea Quintin (286,000), Engelbenth Varela (262,000), Rafael Reis (238,000), and Vascal Chubec (226,000).
