Total Day 1B Entries: 134

Matt Elsby (Chandler, AZ)

The field has seen the arrivals of some new notables, including Maggie Morris (Stamford, CT), winner of the Big Stax V 300 event ($95,000).  Also sitting down for the first time today is DJ MacKinnon, Ed Pham, and Chris McNally.  The chip leader at the moment is a name that some may know, but more likely on the West Coast.

Matt Elsby has over $376,000 in career earnings, with all of his (31) results coming west of Las Vegas or in Florida.  He currently leads the way with 185,000, this after joining the lineup at Table 53 and winning eight of the first eleven hands he sat down to.  Other big stacks in the room belong to:

Alan Kraut - 130,000
Sean Byars - 103,000
Stephen Scales - 100,000
David Heck - 93,000
Jim Bucci - 90,000
