Day 1b of the Mid-States Poker Tour bestbet Jacksonville Main Event drew 262 runners, which along with Day 1a's 197 runners brought the total field up to 459 entries, up from 421 a year ago.

The $445,230 prize pool, more than double the advertised $200,000 guarantee, will be distributed to the top 45 players, with the eventual winner taking home $112,990.

The man from Day 1b best positioned to make a run at it is Jitendra Patel, who bagged up 299,000 to finish as the flight's chip leader, a distinction that earned him a $1,000 bonus. A total of 47 players made it through the Day 1b field.

He'll actually start Day 2 behind another Patel… Day 1a chip leader Talesh Patel, who bagged 344,000 on Friday night. Meanwhile, others who bagged big on Day 1b were David Bradshaw (246,000), Wissam Shaya (208,000), David Jackson (188,000), and Detron Parks (185,000), who round out the top five.

Some others who advanced from the Day 1b flight, albeit with a bit smaller stacks, were World Series of Poker bracelet winner Andrew Badecker (178,500), Maurice Hawkins (163,500), Men Nguyen (150,500), Tuan Troung (115,000), Brett Silverman (81,000), and Josh Turner (32,000).
