Mark Koeln Bags Biggest Stack In Card Player Poker Tour Venetian Day 1BFinal Starting Flight Starts 11:10 A.M. On Saturday |
|
Day 1B of the Card Player Poker Tour main event at The Venetian Las Vegas drew 112 entrants. When combined with the 93 from day 1A, the field size is now up to 205 with one starting flight still to go.
As a result, day 1C will need to draw about 130 players in order for The Venetian to avoid an overlay on their $750,000 guarantee.
After 14 levels of play it was Mark Koeln who finished atop the second flight, ending with 534,000. He’s joined on the leaderboard by high roller crusher Jeremy Ausmus (477,000), who finally built up a stack after nine entries.
Poker vlogger Johnnie “Vibes” Moreno finished the night with 451,000. Moreno’s brother Andrew also had a good start in this tournament, accumulating 747,000 in flight 1A which is good for second place among both surviving fields. Dan Colpoys is still the overall leader with 825,000.
Oh that blissful feeling of being in for 9 bullets and then reaching 9.4 starting stacks
