Steve Blackmon

After extended bubble play that saw them move 20 minutes into Level 20, Steve Blackmon was a big race to burst the bubble. He had his opponent at risk with AsKs versus QcQs and found a king on the Kc4s3c flop. It held after the 5s turn and 9d to knock the field down to 12.

Blackmon bagged the biggest stack with a very nice 976,000 followed by Zachary Eisenbaum with 658,000 and Emmanuel Santos with 586,000.

Those 12 players will return on Sunday at noon for Day 2 in the money. We will post the full list of counts as soon as it is available.
