$2,500 Coco Poker Open Championship
End of Level 10: 500/1,000/100 Ante

The clock has run out on Day 1B, and 36 of the original 124 players have bagged up for the night.

Danny Notice did the most work today, bagging up 229,500 at night’s end. That gives him the overall chip lead, with both he and Aaron Mermelstein (202,500) pipping ahead of Day 1A’s leader Javier Zarco (202,400).

Mermelstein is on some kind of heater right now, having earned two WPT titles and more than $1.1 million in cash so far in 2015.

The survivors have Saturday off to relax before Sunday’s Day 2, if they so choose. Since this is a best-stack-forward event, though, they may also enter either the final starting flight in an attempt to amass a bigger stack.

Day 1C is expected to be a big one, and it begins Saturday at 12:00 PM.
