Final 12 Players at the Final Two Tables
Day 1 was scheduled to end after Level 12, but with the field being only five spots away from the money, the tournament staff allowed the players to take a secret vote whether to stop here (which is what the structure said), or to unanimously overrule it and continue playing to the money.
Every single player voted to continue playing to the money, so that’s what they’re doing. As a reminder, here are the payouts at stake:

At that point, the hands in progress would play to conclusion so the field could begin hand-for-hand play.
But one of those hands that was in progress had the player who ran kings into aces all in against four other players. As you might expect, the other four players checked all the way down, and when the hands were revealed, the short stack was eliminated in 38th place, bursting the Money Bubble before hand-for-hand play even began.
Meanwhile, the short stack everyone had originally been waiting for, John Haas, survived the flight with his 15,000.
The remaining 37 players began bagging up their chips for Day 2, where they will join the 14 survivors from Day 1A to play down to a winner. Every player that survived to Day 2 will finish in the money, and the prizepool and payouts will be posted later tonight.
