It was Cody Wiegmann who accumulated the most chips in this one, as he sits on 242,000 moving into Day 2, ahead of Daniel Baliti’s 204,500. Several other notables also made it through to Day 2, while some big names also fell along the way, including Eric Baldwin, David “ODB” Baker, and others.ĭay 1B was a somewhat less eventful affair, as only 33 players showed up for the evening flight, eight of whom survived Day 1 action and moved on to Day 2. It was Canadian player Dongwoo Ko who climbed to the top of the leaderboard in Day 1A, accumulating a massive 435,000 in chips ahead of Joseph Tehan with 311,000 and Landon Tice with 300,500. The early Day 1A flight saw a total of 180 entries, with the likes of Nick Schulman, Dan Shak, Landon Tice, Kitty Kuo, and Anthony Zinno all in the mix, clearly demonstrating the serious nature of the reinvented PokerStars festival. The much awaited NAPT Las Vegas Main Event started at the Resorts World Poker Room yesterday, with Day 1A and Day 1B played out in a single day.
