After the elimination of Daniel Stancer in 19th place, the 18 surviving players bagged and tagged their chips for Day 2 of WPT Prime Slovakia, which begins on Sunday at 15:00 CEST.

This flight lasted about 11 1/2 hours, and action ended with 17:01 remaining in Level 15, with blinds at 3,000-6,000 with a 6,000 ante.

There were 140 entries for Day 1D, increasing the total field size to 408, though registration has already closed in Day 1E. With 102 entries in that flight, the total field is up to 510 entries, and the prizepool has nearly reached the €500,000 guarantee. Tomorrow’s Turbo Flight 1F should easily beat the guarantee and add additional money to the prizepool

Here are the official chip counts of the 18 players who survived Day 1D:

1.  Maximilian Sanders  –  620,000
2.  Benny Kneepkens  –  526,000
