Friday at The Silks Poker Room at Tampa Downs, 181 entrants put forth their best efforts at making it through to Day 2 of the $200,000 Guaranteed Main Event of the 2014 PPC North America Championship. A total of 111 entrants showed up for the first flight, day 1a, and 17 would still be playing when they finished their session. The later flight, day 1b, had a total of 70 entrants with 11 of those surviving. That brought the total number that will return on Sunday to 28 players.
Today, tournament organizers are expecting a massive turnout, as the allure of the $200,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool and the four trips to the PPC Aruba Championship Event tempt players to give the tournament a shot. They'll be looking to build stacks similar to the ones that were created yesterday by day 1a chip leader, Arri Stone, who ended with 250,100 and day 1b chip leader, Evan Panesis, who would end the day with an impressive 235,300 chip stack.
