This year’s attendance represents 18.75 percent growth over this tournament in 2012. Last year’s main event attracted 160 players and the champion was Randy Gil, who took home the top prize worth $41,904. Gil is one of the 16 Day 1A survivors, who made it through with 42,800.
As for the Day 1B survivors, there were 24 players that advanced, and the overnight chip leader is Jerry Morrell with 267,300. He emerged with a large stack earlier in the day, and built steadily throughout the night to finish with the overall chip lead going into Day 2. The only other top stack that was even close to that was held by John Miner, who held 193,000 after eliminating Charles “Woody” Moore late in the day when his pocket aces topped the A-Q of Woody.
Jerry Yang was one of the notables that survived on Day 1B. Despite some bad news earlier this week, Yang played strong on Saturday and bagged up 76,300 at the end of the night. A couple of poker pros that didn’t make it through Day 1B were couple Christina Lindley and David Randall. Randall was the first to go between them, and Lindley fell during Level 8 after she was crippled in a hand where her A-K offsuit fell in a bad beat against A
K that hit a flush draw.
Tune back in to CardPlayer.com at 1 p.m. PT on Sunday to catch all of the Day 2 action from the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa as the final 39 survivors play down to a final table in Reno. NOTE: Day 1A survivor Somanath Nirakari decided to forfeit his Day 1A stack (20,000) in favor of his Day 1B stack (52,800), which explains the one-player disparity in the number of survivors.
