After yesterday’s two qualifying sessions, the prize pool for Event #2 has swelled up to over $220,000, and there are still two more flights today at 12:30 and 5:30! Two new big stacks emerged yesterday, as Douglas Smith and Jose Mendoza bagged 836,000 and 814,000 respectfully. We also got our first two double qualifiers in Yasmine Hanane and Byung Lee, who have both earned $1,500 for their impressive feat.
