Mike Shanahan had a very rocky early few levels, but once his stack his triple-digits, it stayed there the rest of Day 1A in the @HPTpoker $1650 Main Event at @AmeristarEC. His 330,000 is 2nd out of the 20 players advancing from a field of 131, just 2BB more than Jason Mangold's 323,000.
Randall Pace came back from dinner with 180,000 and added another 200k in about an hour. He wrapped up play with 310,000, and David Sesso stacked 304,000 - four players in the 300k club.
Your overall chipleader - Ossama Estafanous - stayed under-the-radar early on, but post-dinner was a different story as he put away player-after-player over the final 80 minutes, moving from 200k to a end-of-day 434,000 - slightly more than 100k clear of Shanahan.
Others who bagged a stack in Day 1A includes Kevin Saul (291,000); TM Williams (238,000); Ralph Massey (219,000); Jake Bazeley (126,000) and Mike VanderWoude (95,000).
Among those who came out for Day 1A and did not find one of the elusive DAy2Bags was Nick Pupillo, Aaron Massey, Mike Kamenjarin, Craig Casino, Neil Patel, Mike Younan, Darrell Haywood, Aaron Johnson, Garret Riley, Jeff Fielder and Darryl Ronconi.
Day 1B kicks off Friday at 2pm with the tournament's final flight - Day 1C - stating Saturday at noon.
Here's the final player-provided chipcounts for the 20 players - from a starting field of 131 - advancing to Sunday's noon start for Day 2.
