Roberto Molina

One hand into Level 16, one short-stacked player ran into a flopped straight to hit the rail and put Flight B in the money with 26 remaining.

Roberto Molina had a huge day and put 810,000 in his bag for tomorrow. That is good enough for a huge lead so far with fellow Flight B player Frank Weigel his closest competitor with 489,000.

Other notable big stacks:

  • Frank Weigel – 489,000
  • Adam Birggs – 310,000
  • Tom Nguyen – 309,000
  • Michael Cohen – 268,000
  • Thomas McDonald – 251,000
  • Jeremy Boston – 248,000
  • Kenneth Goldfarb – 205,000
  • Phi Nguyen – 204,000
  • David Dibernardi – 200,000

The 26 players who survived Flight B will return on Sunday at noon for Day 2 along with the 22 from Flight A and those who make it through Saturday.

Tournament staff are compiling the full chip count list and we will post later this evening.
