By the time the cashier's desk was taking no more buy-ins, the Day 2d field topped 4,553, taking the total attendance for this year's Main Event to 9,735. Only two other Main Events have seen larger crowds.
Upon completing five more 120-minute levels, the Day 2d field was reduced to 2,133, with more than half of the field eliminated. These surviving players will join the 1,320 players from Day 2abc on Day 3 on July 8.

There is still a long way to go before this event crowns its champion, but you would not blame Kim for going to bed tonight dreaming of helping himself to the $10 million top prize in a week's time.
Fernando Rodriguez (749,000), and Romain Locquet (673,500) round off the podium places, while Day 1d leader, Riva Arthur (607,000) again bagged up a top ten stack.
Seven Main Event champions were in the mix on Day 2, but only one progressed to Day 3. Joe McKeehen, Hossein Ensan, Huck Seed, Stoyan Madanzhiev, and Ryan Riess fell by the wayside, but reigning champion Jonathan Tamayo (158,500) did punch his Day 3 ticket.

Day 1b of Event #85: $600 Ultra Stack saw 4,339 players pile into the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, each hoping to survive 22 levels. Only 382 of those starters managed to achieve that feat, including the United Kingdom's Tom Hall (1,985,000).
Hall became a bracelet winner in 2023, taking down the $500 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack for $176,920. Hall won his bracelet a couple of weeks after finishing third in the $500 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Max, another online event. The popular Brit bagged enough chips on Day 1b to occupy fourth place, and will enter Day 2 seventh in chips from a returning field of 595.
Only Justin Bassett (2,785,000), Roei Simantov (2,340,000), and Daniel Vandyke (2,010,000) ended this flight with more chips than Hall.

Day 2 of Event #85: $600 Ultra Stack begins at 1:00 p.m. local time, with 595 players returning to the action. The plan is to complete 17 levels or whittle the field down to only five players, whichever comes first.
Last but not least is Event #87: $5,000 Super Turbo Bounty, which starts at 2:00 p.m. local time and is set to crown its champion on the same day! Levels only last 20 minutes, so expect all-ins, bad beats, and plenty of drama from the get-go; we cannot wait!
