The €450 Mystery Siege of Malta Day 1d has just returned from its first break of the day and they are now on the seventh level of the flight, with still an hour for late comers to join the game. They’ve broached 600 entries in today’s flight, with 480 still possessing chips.

I just had a chat with Daniel Maunder, the player with the smallest Main Event chip stack going into Day 2. He bagged up only 9,000 chips and was keen to find out if players can sacrifice their stack and enter again. Well, it seems they can, but it also requires surrendering the min-cash, so Daniel will have try to spin up his pittance on Sunday afternoon.
