Let’s cut to the chase. All we can really say about Day 1B is that it is now over, and that the great crowd of players that played it still resemble a great crowd of players eight levels later.

The man from Poland bags up the lead tonight, slightly behind Carmelo Crucitti who led last night with 163,000, but his was a good performance over eight levels today.
Others could claim similar success, including Ludovic Riehl, Faraz Jaka and Ari Engel.
Jaka won the Super Tuesday earlier this month, explaining how he did it to the PokerStars Blog while in a shared Airbnb rental in Berlin surrounded by roommates who wanted to know how he did it. They would have had another good show watching him today.

The defeated from today don’t get a table, but they do get a list.
Luca Pagano led the slow procession to the rail, busting first today. He would be followed by many others, including Rasmus Vogt, Fatima Moreira de Melo, Andre Akkari, Benny Spindler, ElkY, Jean Montury (complete with “lucky” Maltese Cross tattoo), Mustapha Kanit, Nick Petrangelo and Pier Paolo Fabretti.
There is still action to follow into the night, with the Single Day High Roller, fast becoming a contradiction in terms, playing on into the early hours with the intention of finding a winner. There’s only one way to find out if that event does exactly what it says on the tin – follow updates here.
The main event now pauses for the night, restarting tomorrow at 12 noon. Join us then.
