Ron Kohner of Peoria, Arizona bagged up the biggest stack of Day 1b with 532,000 chips to lead the pack of 37 from Day 1b of the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) South Dakota State Poker Championship.

Those 37 will join the 29 survivors from Day 1a for a final field of 66 that will be competing Sunday at the Silverado-Franklin Hotel and Gaming Complex for the huge $105,204 first prize and the iconic six-shooter trophy.

When the smoke cleared from a wild pair of opening flights, 506 entries had created a massive prize pool of $489,320, nearly quintupling the $100,000 guarantee.
