The day 1a leader was a local player Brett Watson with 257,400 chips, while James Dempsey emerged as the day 1b chip leader with 189,000.

Some notable names who made it through to day 2 are Tom “durrrr” Dwan (107,400), Tyron Krost (56,400), Maria Ho (49,600), JP Kelly (44,100), Annette Obrestad (28,300) and Sebastian Ruthenberg (22,800).
