Ankit Wadhawan Crushes 8 Max Survivor D1A

Level 17: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Ankit Wadhawan

The initial flight for the $200,000 guaranteed 8 Max Survivor games drew in a total of 136 entries, and played down to ITM at 17 players. India's Ankit Wadhawan capped the day with the lead, having ran hot in the last hour of play.

Wadhawan set the bar high for the two final flights with a staggering 970,000 chip count onto the next round. The Indian pro firstly caught a double up off compatriot Vishal Ojha, and bagged another one just minutes later off Raffaele Sorrentino. Wadhawan's momentum didn't stop there as he picked up the biggest boost of the day after delivering Karan Sitlani's bubble elimination with pocket kings. In addition to his advantage, Wadhawan has already secured three $2K bounty tokens, earning him a 6x return on his entry fee right on Day 1.

Joining Wadhawan in the top ranks, yet at quite a distance are Hyunkyou Park with 495,000, and Robert Kiss with 479,000. All Day 1A survivors are already guaranteed a portion of the prize pool, and are set to return to the felt on Thursday, February 13 for the final battle.

Players who missed to make the cut have until tomorrow, February 12, to jump in, with two heats - Day 1B (30 minute levels) and Day 1C (25 minute levels), available on schedule.
