EVENT #1 START LEVEL 18

Level 17 continued the torrid pace of knockouts at the start of Day 2. We lost another 14 players with 35 remaining. They will begin this level with 6,000 - 12,000 blinds 2,000 ante. Average chipstack is around 242,000. Adam Schlain was our first player to earn a 4 digit payout ($1,131), Will "The Thrill" Failla dropped out in 43rd, leaving him free to pick back up in Event #2 where he still had some chips while two tabling.
