Day 1b added another 40 entries with nine players advancing. Israeli’s Rotem Noy led the way bagging 187,000 in chips. However, this wasn’t enough to crack the top seven on the leaderboard. Per Gjelten (168,000) and Marcin Puczylowski (154,000) also cracked the top 10 on the overall leaderboard on Day 1b.
