Michael Wang finished the day with 244,300 in chips, which paced the 124 survivors and will take the overall chip lead into Day 2. The other stacks atop the Day 1B counts are full of familiar faces at the Hard Rock.

David Inselberg (188,400), Mark Dube (185,400), Ory Hen (178,400) and Dani Dayan (177,100) round out the top five Day 1B counts. The field was filled with top pros and most made it through the day.

They will play another 10, 60-minute levels before bagging up chips for the night and coming back on Monday for Day 3. Complete chip counts and seat assignments will be posted shortly.
