\n17.\u00a0 Yorane Kerignard\u00a0 –\u00a0 172,000
\n18.\u00a0 Tom Dobrilovic\u00a0 –\u00a0 139,000
\n19.\u00a0 Alessio Fratti\u00a0 –\u00a0 127,000
\n20.\u00a0 Gregory Katayama\u00a0 –\u00a0 103,000

Day 1A reached the final 5% of the field (in this case, 22 players) with 35:49 left in Level 20, with the blinds at 5,000-10,000 with a 1,000 ante. That is the highest the blinds will resume on Day 2, though they will be lower if one of the other starting fields finishes earlier in the blind structure.<\/p>\n

One of the unique aspects of this event is the fact that you can reach the money on Day 1 (the final 12% get paid), bust out before the end of the day, and then re-enter on another Day 1 to potentially cash again or hopefully advance to Day 2.<\/p>\n

Here is the list of players who finished in the money on Day 1A, but didn\u2019t survive to Day 2:<\/p>\n

27th:\u00a0 Koray Aldemir\u00a0 –\u00a0 $1,000
\n28th:\u00a0 Glen Black\u00a0 –\u00a0 $1,000
