The chip leader following the conclusion of day 1A was James Allan Werry with 375,000. Other big stacks include Luigi Fantigrossi (309,500), Graham Squires (248,500), and Carter Swidler (239,500).
Also among the 26 to make it to day 2 was Danny Freitas, who topped a massive field of 2,401 entries to win the World Series of Poker International Circuit $1,100 CAD main event at Playground Poker Club back in 2018 for $227,096 USD. He ended day 1A with 148,000.
Day 1B kicks off at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow, with late registration open until the beginning of level 10. The survivors of the two starting flights will combine on Wednesday, Feb. 6 for day 2.
Players will start with 30,000 in chips, with 30-minute levels throughout day 1B. This is a single re-entry event, with one entry and a re-entry permitted until the end of the late registration period for each starting flight.
