Chip leader Jess Snyder

Day 1a at the Card Player Poker Tour bestbet Jacksonville main event has come to a close and at the end of play tonight there were 15 players that advanced from a field of 80 entries. Those survivors will return for day 2 on Sunday, but first Saturday will see the day 1b flight take to the tables here in northern Florida.

The chip leader at the end of day 1a is Jess Snyder with 184,600. Close on his heels is Corey Burbick, who is a regular on the tournament circuit these days. Burbick also has a robust resume online. He played under the screen name “Comandr_Cool” before Black Friday and racked up $1.8 million in online earnings during that time. Burbick will have a chance to add to his live winnings worth $550,846 starting on Day 2.

Other top stacks were bagged up by Sean Winter (132,200) and Jalen Coyle (124,000). Big names that made it through include Zo Karim and 2013 CPPT bestbet Jacksonville runner-up Timothy Miles.

Also eliminated was defending champion Harvey Vandeven, who topped a field of 255 players at the last CPPT stop held in Jacksonville to win a top prize worth $76,598.

Tune back in on Saturday at noon EST to follow along with all of the day 1b action in live updates, chip counts, photos, and videos from the Card Player coverage team at CardPlayer.com.
