Players Enjoy Overlay In $1,600 NLH PKO After Day 1B
The field that gathered for Day 1B of the $1,600 No Limit Hold’em Progressive Bounty (PKO) had the Day 1A chip leader Julian Pineda Lozano to beat.
Pineda bagged a stack of 1,001,000 in chips after coming out at the top of 20 survivors from a field of 162.
Day 1B mixed things up a bit, adding 155 entries to the field (for a total of 317 players). The turnout did not quite bring the prize pool up to the guarantee of $500,000. As a result, every player who entered the event will enjoy some added value, courtesy of the Wynn's treasure vaults.
At the end of Day 1B, there were 19 survivors, led by Uri Kadosh with 993,000 in chips.
Kadosh goes into Day 2 with the second-biggest stack overall. He replaced the previous number two player, Yang Lu. Lu is now in third with a nice round stack of 700,000.
The remaining field of 39 players will return later today to play down to a winner.
