Just after the levels switched and the blinds were raised, the bubble burst in Day 1B and the final 28 players moved on to Day 2. The group of 28 was led by Gunnar Rabe.

Rabe bagged the chip lead in the second starting flight and finished the day with 410,000. Roy Paulena (370,000), Trung Pham (328,000) and Mark Rose (267,000) round out the top four chip stacks from the flight.

Raminder Singh survived the flight, but will not take any of the chips he amassed in the later of the two flights today because he bagged up 291,000 in Day 1A. Singh finished Day 1B with 191,000, but those chips will come out of play and Singh pocketed $2,500 in cash. For each additional flight that he bags, he will receive another $2,500. He’s the first player to accomplish the mulit-bag in this event.

Other notables to survive the second flight include Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Ambassador Wally Maddah (112,000) and SHRP regular Marcus Stein (125,000).
