Day 1B Concludes with 18 Survivors
The Day 1B field played to the same 25:27 mark of Level 15 as did Day 1A. The starting field of 144 entries was trimmed to just 18 survivors over that period, and the survivors are in the process of bagging up for the night.
Nathan Pitts finished the flight with the biggest stack of 206,700 chips, and that's good enough for second place overall at the moment. He and everyone else are still chasing Day 1A chip leader Maxwell Campbell, who set the high-water mark at 244,800 earlier in the day.
Six-time ring winner Vincent Moscati (pictured) also advanced through Day 1B, ending with 68,500 chips.
Day 1B chip counts
The 37 players who survived the two flights have earned themselves a couple days off, set to return for the combined Day 2 on Sunday. Meanwhile, two more groups of players will take their seats on Friday, and another pair of flights go off on Saturday.
Day 1C begins at 11 a.m.
