It would take over 16 hours for Day 1e and 1f to come to an end on the fourth day of the 2020 Potomac Winter Poker Open. The final starting days of the $400 Opening Event took place in a fully packed MGM National Harbor Grand Ballroom. Day 1e attracted 481 entries with 57 players in the money while Day 1f took in 351 entries with 42 players cashing. Making it through to Day 2 to claim a bigger share of the already surpassed $500,000 guaranteed prize pool were 38 Day 1e players and 21 players survived Day 1f.

In total, 1,812 entries have been collected with 143 players returning on Sunday, February 9. Currently second in the chip lead and wearing the Day 1f chip leader badge loud and proud is Justin Arnwine with 1,012,000 in chips, trailing Michele Lawson in the overall chip counts. Mukharji Uppalapati might have bubbled earlier this week, he compensated for this fact by taking the Day 1e chip lead.

Bracelet winner James Anderson finished third in the Day 1e chip counts with 658,000 but is following Joseph Frampus who laid claim to 695,000 in chips. Other players making it through the long day today include Michael Lerner, another bracelet winner in Yaser Al-Keliddar and Phong Nguyen for example. Nguyen ended a short bubble by flopping quad jacks and cracking the aces of his opponent.

PokerNews will be back at noon local time on Sunday, February 9 to bring you all the action from the floor until the first official PWPO Champion has been crowned.
