FRIEDMAN BAGS A MONSTER TO LEAD DAY 1B

Closing out the night with an elimination of Greg @FossilMan Raymer, @AdamFriedman119 bags the biggest stack I've ever seen in my five years of covering @HPTpoker Main Events.

Friedman caps the night here Hollywood Columbus at 807,000 - a stack that has made the final table at every HPT Main Event this year - and more than 300,000 clear of No. 2 bag Craig Casino (448,000)

Mike Morgan (340,000), Richard Russo (326,500) and Stephen Song (307,500) round out the Top-5 tonight.

Among the group of players who came out for Day 1B but need tomorrow's Day 1C to try and find a Day2Bag was Shawn Roberts, Kevin Eyster, Mike Scarborough, Cotton Snuffer, Jamey Kramer, Greg Raymer, Mike Comisso, Gary Hays, Greg Wood, Andrew Spears, Nick Davidson, Ed Sebesta, Mike Sabbia and Henry Zou.

Here's the 20 players - from a starting field of 157 - moving on to Sunday's 11am Day 2 Restart.
