Jose Montes Tops 22 Day 1B Survivors
Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
The second of three Day 1 flights wrapped up with 22 survivors from the 110 entrants that took to the felt. With an hour remaining there were nearly 40 players remaining but Jose Montes went on a hot run that saw him end with 417,000.
Montes eliminated half a dozen players in the last 30 minutes alone and by all accounts was getting hit with the deck. Joining him in the top ten are David ODB Baker and Tai Du, who just won a preliminary event of the River Poker Series against Maria Ho.
Daniel Lowery, Leslie Hallaway and Papa Karn all return at Sunday at noon where they'll play down to a winner.
