Card Player Poker Tour Bicycle Casino -- Devron Miller Leads 29 Remaining Players From Day 1B122 Players Enter Day 1B, Only 29 Survived To Day 2 |
|
Day 1B of the Card Player Poker Tour Bicycle Casino $1,100 no-limit hold’em main event drew 122 players, bringing the total number of entrants for the first two starting days to 231. With an even better turnout expected for Sunday’s start, this stop on the Card Player Poker Tour will almost certainly eclipse the $300,000 guarantee with ease.
The $1,100 buy-in tournament began at 1 p.m. and lasted until 2:30 a.m. After 12 levels of play, just 29 players remained. Those players will combine with the rest of the field on Monday for day 2.
Leading the way is Devron Miller with 353,100. Miller spent much of the day as either the outright chip leader or one of the top few stacks, but he solidified his lead on one of the final hands of the night when he played a huge pot with one of the other top stacks in the field Brian Patrick. Miller moved all-in over a 104,000 check-raise from Patrick on a J

flop, and took down the gigantic pot after Patrick folded following several minutes in the tank. Patrick still ended the day as the second largest stack with 268,400.
Other large stacks from day 1B include Duey Duong (260,700), Andy Phan (194,200), Angelo Ray (194,500) and Phong “Turbo” Nguyen (151,900).
Notable players who played day 1B but didn’t survive include recently crowned WPT Player of the Year Matt Salsberg, 2007 WPT L.A. Poker Classic main event champion Eric Hershler, Dana Kellstom and Live At The Bike commentator and Card Player columnist Bart Hanson.
