40 Players Advance From Large Day 1c Field

After 14 levels of play here on Day 1c, 40 players have made their way through to Day 2. Entries closed following the break after the end of level nine and, as expected, it was another large day for entries and the final number for Day 1c was 215.

Of the 40 moving on, Nik Stone leads the way with a healthy 290,000 in chips. Michael Griebe finished second in chips and bagged up 283,000. Thomas Klein (267,500), Henry Tran (228,000) and Richard Tapper (213,500) are also advancing with nice stacks. Other notables advancing to Day 2 are Jean Gaspard (183,500), Michael Ross (144,000) and Patrick Steele (78,000).

Notables that entered Day 1c but failed to advance included Nick Guagenti, Allen Kessler and Bill Romer.

Day 2 will begin bright and early on Sunday and a total of 98 players have advanced on to the second and final day of action.
