Event 10: | $400 Monster Stack ($330 + $70) |
Date: | Day 2: Jan 16, Noon |
Blinds: | 30/45 |
Entries: | 78/1,536 |
Prizes: | $506,880 |
Day 2 of the Monster Stack is set with 78 players returning from the Monster-sized field of 1,536. That’s a new record for the Monster Stack in total and both flights also set individual records for size. With 947 entries on 1b, that may well be the biggest single-day field in market history.
In the end, the prizes capped out at more than $505k, but I don’t have eyes on the final payouts for Day 2. As they weren’t sure how many players would be left at the end of 1b, they waited to make up the final payouts. They’ll be posted on the board when players arrive in the morning, but my guess is that first place will be somewhere in the range of $80k+.
Kalyan Cheekuri was the 1a chip leader and they’ll carry that lead through to Day 2 with 2.45 million. 1b leader (and PKO Ring winner) Brett Worton will start the day second in chips and Curtis Singleton, Maciej Boumgart, and Calvin Lake round out the top 5 counts for Day 2.
Day 2 action kicks off at noon in the Chrome room, and this will be my main focus for Thursday. Play will begin in Level 22 with 5:02 remaining, so the action gets underway with blinds at 15k/30k/30k but will jump to 20k/40k/40k fairly quickly.

Day 2 Chips by Seat
I think I made a typo in the 1a chips as there are two players in Seat 2 on Table 32. I verified one of the seat assignments as correct off the 1b slips, but I don’t have 1a slips anymore to check that one, so I suspect that Hongwei Kiu is listed in the wrong seat. My apologies.
