Day 1b of the Ante Up Poker Tour Jamul Casino $550 Main Event has come to a close. A total of 114 entries came through the Jamul Casino Poker Room, near San Diego, California, for the second of two Day 1 flights.
At the end of the night it was 23 players making through to Day 2, with Tim Costello and Adrian Lopez in a tie for the biggest Day 1b stack, with both ending the flight at 315,000 chips. Right behind on the chip leaderboard are Tavish Margers (301,000) and Vladimir Medvinsky (269,000).

Day 1a saw 12 players advance, and those 12 will join the 23 Day 2 survivors for the final day. Tailong Qiao (142,000) bagged both flights, and will bring the bigger of his two bags into Day 2.The tournament will play down to a winner Sunday, with the champion taking home the first place prize of $27,180.
A total of 22 players will make the money Sunday, with the 22nd place finisher taking home the min cash of $959. The final four tables will come back and resume play at Level 15, with the blinds at 3000/6000/6000.
The stack distribution throughout the room stayed relatively even throughout the day, with Costello and Lopez emerging with big stacks at the end of the night. Both will be among the overall chip leaders when Day 2 begins, but both will be looking up at the overall chip leader, Scott Lewis, who bagged 355,000 on Day 1a.

Lebhar Ousts Podnieks
Level 14
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Eric Podnieks opened to 18,000 from the button, with just 31,500 behind. The action folded to David Lebhar, who contemplated his move from the big blind.
"Why didn't you just go all in?" asked Lebhar. After a few moments, Lebhar made the call.
Eric Podnieks: 
David Lebhar: 
Board: 
Podnieks was anguished when he saw the situation, his ace-ten dominated by Lebhar's ace-queen. The runout brought no help, and Podniek's Day 1b journey came to an end.
