Bereits an Tag 1A konnten 407 Entries verzeichnet werden und die Garantiesumme war schon in greifbare Nähe gerückt. An Tag 1B kamen weitere 480 Entries hinzu und so wurden es dann fast 4,5 Millionen Dollar im Pot.

Alexander Turyansky konnte Rang 4 mit beachtlichen 263.300 erobern, während Marvin Rettenmaier als einer der Shortstacks 42.200 Chips eintütete.
An Tag 1B kamen 142 Spieler heil durch den Tag. Diana Shirey konnte 398.900 Chips vor sich stapeln und ließ damit auch Chance Kornuth mit 365.000 hinter sich. In der Gesamtwertung landete Alexander Turyansky nun auf Rang 10, auch Robert Heidorn hat sich mit Rang 35 und 180.000 Chips eine gute Ausgangsbasis geschaffen.
