Cards are back in the air after the dinner break and everyone is chasing Brian Arbaugh at the top of the counts. He came back to a stack worth 180,000 with a mystery stack in second with 157,500 and Alan Thomas in third with 122,500.

Arbaugh, a MSPT champ, is coming off a nice $1,500 tournament win in Jacksonville where he bank $42,572 for the win.

Level 6:  300/500 with a 500 ante
Day 1A Entries:  33

Day 1A is heading towards its second break with 33 entries and a steady climb. This is a good foundation to build upon with a huge weekend crowd expected.

We found Daniel Clemente in today’s field. The Event 1 outright champ skipped the $600 tournament and jumped into the $1,700 for a chance to take home a second trophy.

Level 4:  200/300 with a 300 ante
Day 1A Entries:  25

As expected with the deep, slow structure of the tournament, no one went on break with a massive lead at this stage. The two biggest stacks seemed to belong to Alan Thomas with 91,800 and Ken O’Donnell at 90,000.

Both players made the Event 3 final table last night and were back in the Poker Room for the big game. O’Donnell registered for the tournament not long before the first break so his big stack is even that much more impressive.
