Ventura bought into the $1 million guaranteed WPT500 Knockout on Day 1A back on March 16 where he finished high flights with 10,137,148 chips. Nobody has managed to surpass that impressive eight-figure stack so far.<\/p>\n

Day 1A was a good day for several other grinders because they still find themselves in the top 10 chip counts with four of the scheduled eight flights remaining.<\/p>\n

Julien Perouse<\/strong> of Canada (8,413,275), the MILLIONS Online Main Event champion Endrit Geci<\/strong><\/a> (8,383,469), and Bulgarian Stoyan Kitanov<\/strong> (6,454,732) are all safely through to the business end of this massive PKO event.<\/p>\n

The current Day 2 field is littered with household names and legitimate superstars. Yuri Dzivielevski<\/strong><\/a> (7,384,791), former member of Team partypoker Josip Simunic<\/strong> (6,877,284), Bryan Paris<\/strong> (6,344,301), and former MILLIONS Online<\/strong> champion Benjamin Chalot<\/strong><\/a> (6,012,000) currently occupy spots in the top 20.<\/p>\n

Further down the counts you find the likes of David Peters<\/strong> (5,512,257), Steven Van Zadelhoff<\/strong> (4,182,311), Alex Foxen<\/strong><\/a> (3,301,388), Damian Salas<\/strong> (2,186,189), Mary Pudmoreff<\/strong><\/a> (1,216,434), and Joao Vieira<\/strong> (1,207,627).<\/p>\n

Four WPT500 Knockout Flights Remain; Dozens of Satellites Scheduled<\/h2>\n

You still have the chance to join Ventura and the other 131 players who have navigated their way to Day 2 of the WPT500 Knockout. Four $530 flights remain<\/strong>, including a last-ditch turbo flight at 17:05 on March 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
