Day 1b of the MSPT Season 17 Bally's Black Hawk Showdown Series $1,110 Main Event has come to an end after seeing 178 entries take to the felt, taking the two-day total thus far to 280.

Of those 178 entries, only 19 players remained when chips went into bags, with Adam Reifman securing a double elimination in the final hand of the night to burst the bubble, ending the night with a healthy 745,000 chip stack to lead the bunch.

Kent Biel had his Day 1a come to an abrubt end last night but he came back with a vengence and was able to navigate his way to second in chips bagging 643,000, as he was the only other player to bag north of 600k while Tan Hoang (591,000), Event #8 winner Aaron Thomas (538,000), and last year’s Main Event Champ Faraz Jaka (414,000) rounded out the top five stacks.

Season 12 Player of the Year Kyna England was a late arrival but still ran up 321,000 stack while Brad Pausch (173,000), MSPT Champ Michael Reynolds (160,000), MSPT’s top casher DJ Buckley (153,000), and defending champ Antonio Vargas (146,000) are just a few more of the players to add their names to the Day 2 roster along with the 12 to have already advanced from Day 1a.

Unlike the aforementioned players, not everyone was as lucky as Gary Ewald, Naval Subbarayan, Jason Vanstrom, Shane Borrilo, and Jeremy "Woody" Wood, all took their shot on Day 1b, only to fall short of a Day 2 berth.

Those players, along with many others, will have one more opportunity with Day 1c starting tomorrow at noon local time, and it will be the last chance for players to punch their ticket into Sunday's Day 2.

Late registration and re-entries will remain open through Level 12 (approximately 9:10 p.m.)
