Day 1B of the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) bestbet Jacksonville drew 228 entrants, which along with Day 1A’s 164 brought the total field up to 392 runners. That crushed the advertised guarantee by creating a $380,240 prize pool that will be distributed to the top 36 players with the eventual winner taking home $94,310.

After 14 levels of play on Saturday, just 45 players remained with Robert Woodward and his stack of 230,00 leading the pack. For finishing as the flight’s chip leader, Woodward earned himself a $1,000 bonus, just barely edging out Jose Delacruz, who bagged 229,500.

Others who advanced from Day 1B were Chris Fabozzi (217,000), Nick Raio (196,000), Henry Hull (184,000), Chad Baker (178,500), Anthony Astarita (171,000), Andrew Dykeman (143,500), and Jermaine “Lion” Gerlin (50,000), who last year finished fourth in this very event.

Among those to fall over the course of the day were MSPT regulars Jim Boone, Jason Bender, and Alex Smith; eight-time World Series of Poker Circuit ring winner Maurice Hawkins; MSPT Season 6 Player of the Year Mark Hodge; and the notorious Sam Grizzle.

The surviving 45 players from Day 1B will join the 29 from Day 1B on Sunday at 11 a.m. With 74 coming back to action, more than half the field will leave empty handed before the money is made the top 36 are guaranteed a min-cash of $2,377.
