After four flights of qualifying spread out over the last two days, 66 players have managed to punch their tickets to the Day 2 finals. Steven Ayoub still leads the way with a monster stack of 739,000. Brian Gorman bagged up a top five stack yesterday, and will be one of the biggest threats on Tuesday.
We had not one, not two, but three players double qualify yesterday! Sam Goncuoglu, Byung Lee, and Michael Reyes all made it through again yesterday, earning $1,750 on the spot. If you want to add your name to the list below, you will have two more chances to do so today, at 12:30 and 5 PM. So come on out and join us for all of the action, as we get one day closer to crowning a champion in the $250,000 Guaranteed Event!
