Day 1b of the Main Event is now over and of the 133 players who joined the flight, 31 have made it though to Day 2.
The chip leader from the day is Jarmo Salonen, who overtakes the Day 1a big stack Danny Larsen as the front of the provisional grid for the start of the next stage of the tournament. His stack of 733,000 sets the new benchmarks for those in the remaining starting days to chase.
Meanwhile in Day 1c there are currently 76 players still in from 114 entrants, deep into level 7. Late registration is still open until the end of level 9. We’ll update on the survivors from this flight in the morning, as it won’t finish until well after 3am.
