The final few hands are complete at each table, and the 29 survivors have finished their end-of-day paperwork and the bagging of the chips.

Evan Teitelbaum held fast at night’s end, finishing the flight as the big stack with 358,500. That’s good enough for second place overall at the moment, with everyone still trailing Day 1A chip leader Nicholas Mahabee, whose stack of 464,000 is the number to beat right now.

The full list of chip counts from the first two flights can be found one post below this one.

The four aforementioned members of the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Team also survived the B flight. Wally Maddah gets the gold star for the day, finishing with 185,000 to lead his teammates Darryll Fish (99,500), Jessica Dawley (78,000), and Michael Laake (77,500).

Others who bagged up chips include Marc Stein (150,000), Marc Levy (129,500), Kenny Nguyen (125,500), Jake Schwartz (62,500), and John Holley (35,000).

They and the other survivors have earned a day off tomorrow, while the final two starting flights will run throughout the day. The prizepool will be released once registration is closed for Day 1D, and the combined Day 2 is scheduled for Wednesday at 1 PM.

Day 1C begins Tuesday at 11 AM.
