Jeremy Eyer made it through with 346,000 which was good enough for third place. He was spotted with a large stack shortly after the dinner break and he was able to continue his upward momentum into the top three.
Phillip Walsh with 325,000 and Trace Henderson with 278,000 rounded out the top five in chips. Henderson is among the points leaders for the Casino Championship here in Biloxi and will be looking to make a deep run on Day 2.
