The $5,000,000 guaranteed free roll saw a total of 1,457 invitees come out to play the event with the hopes of claiming the massive $1,000,000 first place prize. 503 of those players saw their dreams met with at least a $1,000 cash with many claiming a prize to the $10,000 WPT World Championship in a drawing. Both $100,000 bounties have been pulled, with the biggest prizes left for the remaining 49 players to come at the final table.
Leading the way is WPT newcomer Floyd Achtzehnter who ended his day with 2,265,000 at days’ end. This is his first WPT and biggest live score to date as he looks to make a run to the final table.
