The $111,000 buy-in WPT Alpha8 for One Drop at Wynn Las Vegas continued on Saturday with Day 2, which saw a half dozen players take advantage of late registration.
They included Cary Katz, Biao Ding, Nick Petrangelo, Christoph Vogelsang, Taylor von Kriegenbergh, and Phil Ivey, who had busted late on Day 1. Spoiler Alert – only one of them would make the final table.
That brought the total field up to 45 entries and generated a $4,612,500 prize pool. That was reserved for the top seven finishers with the winner slated to take home a $1,537,600 top prize.
At the end of the night, Jonathan Jaffe bagged the big stack with 4,085,000, which was twice as much as his next closest opponent. The final six players will return on Sunday to play it out on a live-streamed final table.
