After 15 levels of play on day 1a of Event #11: $2,700 Main Event at the Potomac Winter Poker Open, 41 players remain from an initial field of 223. Of those 41 players, Jonathan Gilliam was able to bag the biggest stack after ending the day on 538,000. Right on his heels is none other than recent winner of of the $5,300 Return event at the Borgata and well known poker pro, Bin Weng (521,500). David Tiller rounds out the top three with a stack of 467,000.

Play remained at a fairly consistent pace throughout the day, with the tournament average stack settling right around the forty big blind mark during the latter few levels. This was not a surprise given that the money bubble will not be burst until the fields from the two starting flights combine on day 2.

There were a number of notables who were able to find a bag at the end of the night, including BetMGM Poker Ambassador Darren Elias (388,500), WSOP bracelet winner James Gilbert (234,000) and three time WSOP bracelet winner Brock Parker (50,500). Jacob Mitich, who was the beneficiary of a bizarre deal that saw him secure first place money without playing a single hand of heads-up poker in Event #6: $400 Monster Triple Stack, was also able to secure a seat in day 2 with a not too shabby stack of 209,500.

Some notable players to enter the fray but not make it to the end of the day include 2015 WSOP Main Event champion Joe McKeehen, WSOP bracelet winner Lara Eisenberg and winner of Event #1: $400 Mystery Bounty, Isiah Ditoto. They all have the option to take another shot tomorrow in day 1b should they choose to do so.
