Out of a starting field of 275 hopefuls on day 1 of Event #6: $400 Monster Triple Stack at the Potomac Winter Poker Open, just 28 return for the second and final day.
Currently leading the pack is none other than WSOP bracelet winner Lara Eisenberg, who takes her seat with a cool 2,685,000. Jacob Mitich, who endured quite a swingy day 1, ended up with a big stack of 1,830,000 that seems him return for day 2 second in chips. Rounding out the top three is local player Yinwoo Ahn with 1,725,000.
The vast majority of the $91,770 prizepool has yet to be awarded as only the top 30 finishes were guaranteed a slice of the pie. Everyone still remaining has secured at least $597 with $22,298 allocated for the last person standing.

Belram Rais moved all in from early position before Jon Bowman called off with the shorter stack from middle position. The remaining players got out of the way to put Bowman officially at risk.
Jon Bowman: 
Belram Rais: 
Bowman, though at risk, did have Rais dominated and remained ahead on the flop and 
turn. The 
river, however, improved Rais to broadway to send Bowman out of the tournament in 15th place. Elsewhere, Benny H, Steve Nooraliah, Roger Laing and David Shober were all eliminated.
