$3,500 Championship No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 10: 500/1,000/100 Ante

In a very balanced evening in this WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open Day 1A, a few players flirted with 200,000 chips but only two actually made that benchmark when play ended.

Aleksandr Denisov, fresh off the second biggest score of his career after winning an event at this year’s PCA, ends Day 1A as the chipleader on a late run bagging 220,100.  Close behind was Timothy Miles who pulled off a final mark of 208,000.  They are followed by Michael Wang at 196,900, Sheldon Gross at 192,800 and Dan Dyke at 189,500.

The rest of the pack is bunched up as 125 players out of the 357 entries advanced into Day 2 as the race to win this WPT title and have their name etched on the Champions Cup will continue.  All the players that advanced will return to play Sunday at noon.

Play resumes for a brand new group of players Friday for Day 1B at noon.
