bestbet Jacksonville regular Mark Stephen Edwards bagged the Day 1A chiplead (164,400) and will be near the top of the pack when Day 2 begins.

Jesse Hollander, bestbet Jacksonville Director of Poker Operations, and Kristy Moreno will also be back on Day 2.

The final 39 players will return at 2 pm local time on Saturday and play down to a winner. Live updates of all the action will be provided on CardPlayer.com.

The eventual champion will be the fifth main event winner of Season III of the CPPT, joining Fred Paradis, Maxim Sorokin, Nick Weinberg and Chan Pelton on the list of champions.
