Day 1D Concludes with 36 Survivors
The clock has run out on Day 1D, and the 36 survivors are tucking their chips safely into bags for a two-night soak.
Stephen Brown ended the night with the big stack of 180,100 chips, good for seventh place overall at the moment. He and everyone else are still chasing Day 1C chip leader Luiz De Farias Guimaraes and his stack of 319,600.
Brian Hastings (pictured) also made it through this flight after a few unsuccessful tries, advancing with 78,800 chips. Stewart Newman (110,500) and Wally Maddah (38,800) both wear Hard Rock Poker patches on their lapels, and they, too, are among the Day 1D survivors. Circuit regular Russell Sullivan advanced with 151,000 chips.
Day 1D chip counts
The 36 who survived this flight join the other 66 survivors in a day off on Sunday. While they rest, Days 1E and 1F will give the rest of the hopefuls another couple chances to advance to Sunday's combined Day 2.
