As the tournament closed out for the day it was a battle between Shiraz Hasan and Steve Saklad but nobody knew it. We all thought Shiraz had the 3K locked up. Apparently at the buzzer Steve sneaked across the finish line with the win.

"I'm excited to be freerolling however realize we still have a long way to go for potentially a big payday" said Steve Saklab.

Check back after 9am for all 172 Player chip counts for those finishing today.

Tomorrow at noon in the Signature Room, 54 from Day 1A will combine with 172 from Day 1B giving us 226 total players.

Also check back after 9am for seat assignments.

Have a great night!
