Jason Rivkin Tops the Counts After Day 1c

[user253757]

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

After a full 16 levels of action on the felt, the third and final starting flight of Event 8 has concluded. It was Jason Rivkin who bagged and tagged the biggest stack, as his 375,500 just squeaked by Joe Mckeehen's 350,000. Both of these players have plenty of experience, so having an arsenal of ammunition at their disposal makes each a threat to continue the dominance when Day 2 kicks at noon local time.

Other chip counts to pay attention to include James Mendenhall (315,000), Andrew Glancy (276,500), Ed O'Connell (225,000), Raj Khanna (225,000), Julian Sacks (211,000), Jacob Wagschal (203,000), Megan Milburn (150,000), Charles Ciresi (106,000), Dan Heimiller (99,000) and Amanda Musumeci (80,500).

There were a number of notable names and local grinders to fire bullets here this evening, as Men Nguyen, Cotton Snuffer, Stephen Burns and Raj Patel all took a shot, but each missed their mark and failed to advance or improve on the stacks they built in earlier flights. Below you will find the entrant information for the entire event, which is now left with just 313 runners after 1,392 registrations were recorded over two days of play.

With the Borgata's guaranteed prize pool of $250,000 needing only 715 runners to be met, tomorrow's field will be playing for nearly double that amount, and a six-figure score awaits for the eventual winner.
