End of Level 15: 1,500/3,000 with a 3,000 ante
Day 1B Players Remaining: 34 of 185

Day 1B of the WPTDeepStacks Tampa Main Event wrapped just moments ago with 34 of 185 starters advancing. There are a number of notables that found a bag including the new overall chip leader Daniel Chalifour.

Chalifour put a hurt on the Friday play multiplying his 30,000 starting chips into 533,000. That puts him head and shoulders above the rest of the field as he’s the only player that tops a half-million.

Others advancing include Alex Kimpel in second with 436,000, William Medina with 374,000, WSOP gold bracelet winner Jonathan Hilton with 283,000, back-to-back runner-up in this event Michael Cohen with 114,000 and Brian Reinert with 69,000.

Full chip counts through Day 1B will be posted by 1am local time.

Those unable to find a Day 1B include 2016 champion Anthony Astarita, Karl Manouchakian, Tom Nguyen and Marvin Karlins. Each of these players are able to get back in the action for tomorrow’s Day 1C. Play begins at 11am with registration and re-entry available all the way until ~6:30pm.

Tournament updates will begin again Saturday with the restart of play.
