Day 1A saw 552 players take their first shot at the title with 27 advancing to Day 2 tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone today is trying to chase down Howard Acoff, the current chip leader who bagged up an impressive 1,915,000. He was the only player in seven-digit territory with 2014 BPO National Champion Ryan Chua sitting in second place with 870,000.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone who played yesterday is eligible to buy-in today for $235 and aim for a piece of the $200,000 prize pool. Even if players were part of the 63 who made the money yesterday or who were among the 27 who advanced, they can still play today with a chance to cash again or build a bigger bag. If anyone bags up again, their biggest stack will be put into play tomorrow and they will receive a Day 2 min-cash for the other stack.<\/p>\n<p>The structure today is the same as yesterday. Players sit down to 25,000 deep stacks and the tournament will run 30-minute levels throughout. Late registration is open until the start of Level 5 around 1:15pm and we will crunch the payout numbers at that point. Approximately 10% of today&#8217;s field will earn some cash with the last 5% moving on to Day 2 tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Cards will go in the air at the top of the hour and we will see if anyone can catch Acoff at the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0second flight of the 2017 Bar Poker Open National Championship is about to get underway after a long opening run yesterday.
