Day 2 began with all 307 entrants in the money for at least a $538 min-cash in addition to any bounties collected.
partypoker Ambassadors Jaime Staples (125th - $736 prize + $922 in bounties), Kristen Bicknell (161st - $663 prize + $125 in bounties), Joao Simao (211th - $598 prize + $516 in bounties), were all among the hundreds of players to hit the rail in the money on Day 2.
The day ended after Brazil's Daniel Camelo Da Silva was eliminated in 10th place for $4,546 plus $1,070 in bounties.
The final table kicks off on Tuesday, May 25 at 8:05 p.m. GMT at Level 23 with blinds at 1.2M/2.5M/315Ka. Blinds will increase very slowly at 24 minutes each giving plenty of time for players, even those with short stacks, to make their moves.
All players at the final table are guaranteed at least a ninth-place prize of $6,064 with the winner slated to receive a $62,240 top prize and second place getting almost as much with a $62,136 runner-up prize. This is, of course, on top of any bounties collected with the winner often collecting nearly as much in bounties (if not more) as the top prize.
