Mitchell Bosch

The long bubble grind and extra break and more levels ended with Mitchell Bosch taking care of the business of getting them in the money with 26 remaining.

He also put the biggest stack in a bag and will lead the Day 2 return with 974,000. Zak Fellows (697,000), Sam Cunix (679,000), Drew Dodge (648,000) and Sanjay Dulabh (619,000) also went big and will have an advantage coming back tomorrow.

We will post the chips counts and seat draw as soon as possible.

Players returned to their seats after what should be the last break of the night (even though we jinxed it last night). We have 47 players remaining, 26 will advance to Day 2, and a few big stacks are emerging.

Zak Fellows leads the shrinking field with 420,000 and Sean Hampson is not far behind with 416,000. Sam Cunix has 345,000 and Ashley Spring is up there with 327,000.
