Friedman's Disciples Looking for Success on Day 1b
Level 5
: 300/500, 500 ante
In yesterday's Day 1a flight, three-time bracelet winner and MSPT champ Adam Friedman bagged a massive chip lead of 816,000, which was more than double that of Nic Getzen (322,000), his next-closest competitor.
Friedman, who has two days off before returning for Day 2 on Sunday, has been strolling through the room checking on a contingent of players from his neck of the woods in Ohio.
| Player | Career Earnings | MSPT Earnings |
|---|---|---|
| Alan Wentz | $501,043 | $3,874 |
| Alex Balcerzak | $123,011 | $0 |
| Satoshi Tanaka | $98,202 | $65,555 |
| Karam Dhillon | $24,744 | $5,215 |
Ideally, the quartet of players in action can follow in Friedman's footsteps, but that may be a tall order given he bagged one of the biggest, if not THE biggest, Day 1 chip leads the tour has ever seen.
