49 ALREADY IN FOR SUNDAY

There's 49 players who have advanced to Sunday's Day 2 out of the first two starting flights in this Labor Day Weekend edition of the @HPTpoker $1650 Main Event @AmeristarEC.

Ossama Estafanous bagged 100k more than anyone else on Thursday's Day 1A, but Neil Patel, Jerry Siemienas and Raed Kurdi zoomed past that mark last night. Patel (640,000), Siemienas (556,000) and Kurdi (518,000) put up three of the largest Day 1 stacks I've seen in a while at a HPT main event.
