After the elimination of Richard Rice on the Money Bubble, the final 45 players have bagged up their chips for Day 2, which begins on Sunday at 1:00 pm. This is the first of eight starting flights.

Action ended with 28:00 remaining in Level 18, with blinds at 4,000-8,000 and an 8,000 ante. Day 2 will begin with the blinds rolled back to the earliest finish from the eight starting flights.

The full list of official chip counts will be posted soon, but here are the three players who bagged at least 400K:

1.  Axel Orellana  –  581,000  (73 bb)
2.  Chris Mills  –  528,000  (66 bb)
3.  Nick Yunis  –  451,000  (56 bb)

Flight B is already underway, with registration open until about 9:30 pm, and there will be two more starting flights each day over the next three days — 10:00 am and 5:00 pm flights on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
