After four levels, Flight 1B takes its first break of the night. A scan of the field revealed five players with at least 50,000 in chips, creating the first leaderboard of the flight:

1.  Dmitry Savelyev  –  89,000  (297 bb)
2.  Maroun Akiki  –  73,875  (246 bb)
3.  Evan Teitelbaum  –  54,500  (182 bb)
4.  John Holley  –  52,250  (174 bb)
5.  David Maddox  –  52,225  (174 bb)

And here are some of the notable players further back in the pack:

Carolyn Zegeer  –  31,675  (106 bb)
Luis Santoni  –  29,075  (97 bb)
Kane Kalas  –  28,450  (95 bb)
Hunter Cichy  –  24,100  (80 bb)
Kevin Curran  –  23,425  (78 bb)
Sheddy Siddiqui  –  21,000  (70 bb)
Greg Marcus  –  20,000  (67 bb)
Steve Bennett  –  16,850  (56 bb)
David Jackson  –  16,100  (54 bb)
Scott Zakheim  –  12,225  (41 bb)
Marcus Stein  –  5,950  (20 bb)
Zoltan Czinkota  –  5,550  (19 bb)

In the first hand after the break, a player raised from middle position to 1,050, the cutoff called, and Marcus Stein moved all in from the button for 5,925. The original raiser folded, and the cutoff called with 3s3h. Stein turned over 9c8s, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Qs10s4dKc8h — Stein flopped a gutshot straight draw and paired his eight on the river to win the pot and double up in chips.

Marcus Stein  –  14,625  (49 bb)

There are currently 146 entries in the field, and registration remains open until the beginning of Level 9 (about 10:30 pm).
