Day 1b of Event #7: $2,200 Warm Up from the Luxon Pay Mediterranean Poker Party has been completed with all remaining players in the money.

After 18 levels on Day 1b, it has come to a close with 258 entrants (including 50 reentries) sitting down throughout the day. Only 39 of them will return with chips for Day 2. It��s worth mentioning, that for those that did make Day 2, there will be an enforced 30-second shot clock in play. Players will have time extension cards they can use during the day's play.

Some great and well known players came and went today, including Pavlo Veksler, Florian Duta, Melika Razavi, Dzmitry Urbanovich, and two-time bracelet winner Manig Loeser just to name a few.

Some of of the most notable players returning with chips for Day 2 are Chino Rheem (237,000), Pavel Plesuv (980,000), and Artur Martirosyan (401,000).

Simon Higgins (870,00) busted his first bullet and then with what seemed like a blink of an eye, span his 50,000 starting stack after reentering to almost 500,000 at one point. Rheem had some good fortune midway through the day after he went on a busting spree, getting three of them in quick succession. Ian Gascoigne also enjoyed an excellent second half of the day, returning with 368,000 chips.

The bubble ended when the field went down from 42 to 39, with three players apparently busting in one hand to take all the remaining players to Day 2.

With a $2,000,000 guarantee, it looks highly likely that will be smashed as there are still two flights remaining and they��ve already had 440 entrants. Anyone that busted Day 1a or Day 1b can jump back into the action (and reenter once per flight) for Day 1c and 1d, which will both run on Saturday, August 27.
