Day 1a2 of the $365 Bar Poker Open Championship Invitational saw a total of 264 entries players come out to play the second flight here that went late into the mid morning. From that starting field, only 27 made their way into the money with an even smaller number of only 14 still eligible for the $100,000 first-place prize and advancing on to Day 2 on Wednesday.
The largest stack to end the night was Jake Dennehy, who used a late-night surge to finish the day with 1,145,000. He won a big hand late with pocket aces and would not look back from there. Just behind him in second place as the only other player with over a million was Steven Morey who finished with 1,065,000.
After that, Patrick Burgon had 873,000 before the next highest stack was some distance behind, bagging nearly a full 300,000 below.
