Costa Rica-based grinder Elliott "elliottpet" Peterman leads the pack at the end of Day 1 with a stack of 8.7 million, trailed by Tom "Daenarys T" Vogelsang of the Netherlands and "CrazyLissy" of Russia, who won the WCOOP-61-H: $2,100 NLHE event in 2019 for $115,509.
The players to make Day 2 include previous WCOOP champions, such as two-time WCOOP winner Andras "probirs" Nemeth of Hungary, 2018 Event #62M: $2,100 NLHE champion Sam "Str8$$$Homey" Greenwood and Anatoly "NL_Profit" Filatov, who took down the WCOOP 06-H: $1,050 NLHE [6-Max] earlier this month for $97,851.

The remaining players fought it out until five-time WCOOP champion Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski, who won this year's 13-H: $1,050 FLO8 for $23,897, was eliminated on the final table bubble after getting his aces cracked by the king-high flush of Greenwood.

Veldhuis" Veldhuis, who was eliminated in 42nd Place on his second bullet, as well as Patrick "pads1161" Leonard, who busted shortly after in 40th Place on a third bullet.
