But David Singer, Chris Moneymaker, Liz Lieu, Mike "The Mouth" Matusow made it to Day 2B along with another 1,000 players. Norwegian player Henning Granstad finished the night as chip leader for all three days with 249,950 in chips. They'll all be back at noon on Wednesday, July 9th when they will be joined by the Day 1D survivors. The number of players remaining from the initial 1,928 players who registered for Day1C is 1,026. This means 53 percent of Day1C's field survived. So far the combined number of survivors from Day 1-A, 1-B, and 1-C is 2,277. This means that 52 percent of the starting field have survived.
