Day 2 opened with one hour late registration available. This dragged in another 24 entries to bring the overall total to 319. With each entry at NT$ 33,000, the prize pool climbed to a wealthy NT$ 9,282,900 (~US$ 304,000). Only 32 stand to profit which means coming Day 3, two players will walk away empty-handed.
