Day 1 of the $2,000 + $200 High Roller has just wrapped up and when it was all said and done, there were a total of 108 entries (including 25 re-entries) of which 59 players have found a bag for Day 2. The tournament offers the players a starting stack of 100,000 chips and they have been playing 9-handed through 45 minute blind levels. Late registration (and re-entry) is still available up until the start of level 13 on Day 2.
There is a guaranteed $250,000 prize pool and with many players choosing to enter on Day 2, the prize pool may even surpass the guarantee.
The chip average at the end of play tonight was 183,000, and the player who bagged the largest stack is none other than Playground regular Tu Kham Tran who is in the lead with 436,900 chips. Here are the five largest stacks moving into Day 2:
