John Machalak Leads After $400 Almighty Stack Flight C
Day 1c of the 2019 Borgata Poker Open (BPO) Event #10: $400 Almighty Stack drew 402 runners, which means along with Flight A's 346 and B's 177 the total field stands at 925 with three more flights to go.
After 17 levels of play, approximately 100 remained with John Michalak and his stack of 1.556 million leading the way. That is just behind Day 1b chip leader Sridhar Sangannagari (1,570,000) but just ahead of Day 1a leader Spencer Champlin (1,547,000).
Others to bag big stacks were Jingzhe Cao (1,367,000), Catherine Dever (923,000), Adam Pease (754,000), and Eric Hayes (721,000).
They were joined by Jackie Scott (645,000), Chris Conrad (428,000), 13-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Maurice Hawkins (415,000), bracelet winner Jessica Dawley (352,000), $230 Deeper Stack champ Steve Nooralian (337,000), and Stanley Lee (275,000).
