The 13 bags are collected and collated, and Regan Duong was indeed the big stack from Day 1b. He bagged 535k, while second-place Essam Saadeddine has 469k. Colby MacDonald, Benny Sarnelli, and Dylan Payne round out the top five counts tonight.
Duong’s stack puts him in the provisional lead for Day 2, pending the results of Saturday’s Day 1c. He has about 10k more than Day 1a leader Kristopher De Leone, and Saadeddine capped the Day 1a #2 by about 2k.
