Christopher Barnes was not on our radar for most of the day but he stormed ahead at the end, a nice addition to his stack came with a timely two-out river to knock the field shorter.

Barnes bagged 526,000 for the Flight B lead only a few chips behind overall leader James Salmon and Pedro Palacio was second in Flight B with 429,000. We will post the complete list of chip counts as soon as they are available.

The final flight starts tomorrow at 10 am and we anticipate a huge crowd.

Top five Flight B stacks:

1. Christopher Barnes – 526,000
2. Pedro Palacio – 429,000
3. Michael Wetcher – 392,000
4. Albert Barney – 385,000
5. Julio Delgago – 360,000

Day 1B Players Remaining:  32 of 249

Unlike the long bubble process in Flight A with 20 hands, Flight B was done in only four. Former leader James Tomblin was down to 37,000 and moved all in from early position. Ross Wilner was next to act and called with only 49,000 behind.

Wilner:
Tomblin:

Tomblin was dominated by the bigger aces and needed a lot of help to double. The board ran out and Wilner won the hand to send Tomblin out on the money bubble.

The remaining 32 players will bag their chips and return for Day 2 on Sunday at noon in the money.

Level 16:  3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante
Day 1B Players Remaining:  35 of 249

The anticipated slowdown hit when players neared the money bubble, taking fewer risks while trying to make it to Day 2. They were stuck at five tables for a long stretch but recently dropped to the last four tables and 35 players remain.

Hand-for-hand will kick in when 33 players have stacks and Flight B will come to an end when they hit 32.

Level 15:  2,000/4,000 with a 4,000 ante
Day 1B Players Remaining:  45 of 249

The last break has come to an end and tournament staff broke another table soon after to drop the field to 45 players remaining. They will go into hand-for-hand mode when 33 remain and stop for the night with 32 advancing.

Julio Delgado is back in the lead with 320,000 and Matthew Zarcadoolas sits in second with 275,000. Coming up on both of them is two-time Coco Poker champ Howard Mash, up to 253,000 with only a few more levels to go.

Day 1B Players Remaining:  49 of 249

Players are getting ready to take the last break of the day with 49 players remaining. They will reach 32 before another break comes around so they will return to play into the money.

Matthew Zarcadoolas is the latest to build a big stack. He’s up to 295,000 after sending T.K. Miles out of the tournament late in the day.

Level 14:  1,500/3,000 with a 3,000 ante
Day 1B Players Remaining:  63 of 249

The field is quickly dropping down closer to the money bubble. We have 63 players still in Flight B and they will keep going until only 32 remain to move on.

Julio Delgado is doing his part. The second break chip leader was sitting in the big blind when the under the gun player moved all in for 25,500. Delgado called with and was up against and his king was good after the run out.

That hand moved Delgado up to 298,000 but that is only good for the second-biggest stack at this stage. James Tomblin was second at the break but now leads with 310,000.

Day 1B Players Remaining:  74 of 249

After registration closed, we found T.K. Miles grinding in the back corner of the Poker Room and having a pretty good day. The 2021 RunGood Poker Series Main Event runner-up is stacked up to 170,000 as they move closer to the end of the day.

Miles was heads-up with Raminder Singh last year at the Main Event final table when the two decided to make a deal. They both earned $45,456 with Singh taking the title and ProAm seat. Miles stayed close to home and played the Tampa Winter Poker Open Main Event at the same time as the ProAm and shipped an outright win for a $213,035 payout.
