Ryan Hall, Day 1B Chip Leader
$3,000 Bonus
On the last hand of the night Ryan Hall (Newark, DE) picks up an extra 5k in chips which is the difference between first and second in chips.
Hall bags 135,250 for the chip lead and the $3,000 bonus.
"I played pretty well," says Hall, "I'm free-rolling now, so that's nice."
On the final hand, Hall says he made a tough call on the river with four suits on board while holding King-Jack. Hall's two pairs are good for the pot and the bonus.
"That's disgusting," laughs Matt Elson (Brooklyn, NY), who finishes one blue chip behind at 130,650.
Elson takes home the $2,000 bonus for finishing second in chips to which he says, "I'm cool with that."
Day 1B finished with 137 players to go along with the 37 from Day 1A, meaning 174 players are in the running for the $198,186 first place prize.
Day 1A chip leader Dan Wach is the big stack with 152,250 (254 bb) while the average stack is 51k (85 bb).
Blinds resume at 300/600/75 ante for Tuesday's noon restart.
