Event #1 Is In The Money

The bubble has burst in Event #1 - $365 No-Limit Hold’em and all remaining 30 players are in the money, guaranteed at least a $565 payday.

In the bubble hand, a player was all in holding [As][Qh] against his opponent's [Ac][Ks].  When the flop fell [Ah][6h][Kc], the all in player was drawing to runner-runner.  The [8c] turn left him drawing dead, and he was sent to the rail when the [9d] hit the river.

Day 2 of Event #1 Has Resumed

The 43 remaining players from Event #1 have returned for Day 2, and cards are now in the air.  The blinds will begin and 1,000/2,000 with a 300 ante.

The top 30 players will earn at least $565, with 1st place earning the title and $20,018.  You can see the full payouts here.
