A very strong 415 player field have found their way to San Jose and Bay 101 Casino's World Poker Tour Shooting Star.
This has always been a favorite destination for many runners on the World Poker Tour given it's "bounty" and different structure but, 415 is about 80 more players than what we had last season - kudos to Matt Savage and the Bay 101 crew!
Over 140 players participated on Day 1A yesterday, including 19 star bounties.
Brian Schmidt won the 10k prize for finishing the day as chip leader. Here are the other notable players with solid chip stacks heading into Day 2...
- Kara Scott 137,100
- Layne Flack 131,300
- Danny Smith 128,000
- Mike Matusow 127,200
- Richard Toth 126,200
- Brandon Cantu 117,000
- John Juanda 85,000
- Galen Hall 80,000
