IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
March 25th, 2018
Day Eleven
Yesterday's $1675 Main Event FLT C of the $1,000,000 guarantee at Hard Rock Tulsa pushed us past a million dollar prizepool marking a huge milestone for all those involved by having 400 entrants. In total, the Main Event saw 721 combatants with 110 moving on to Sunday's Day 2 12PM competition. First place rewards a very healthy sum of $216,307, a Main Event Circuit Ring, and a 10K seat into the Global Championship. The official WSOP recap can be found here.
Of the 110 advancing, three RG Ambassadors, Mina Greco, Justin Gardenhire, and Bryan Campanello (pictured), will be playing into today's Day 2 with live updates that can be found here. Here are Day 2 chip counts:
