Big Stax 300 (Day 1B): Getting Ready Once Again

Yesterday's numbers looked as if they were going to break records, but just fell short of the 458 Day 1A number from February.  Phuc Hoang (Philadelphia, PA) bagged the chip lead last night with 553,000, collecting the $1,000 bonus for Day 1A.  Other notables to bag top five stacks included Jason Rivkin (478,500), Joe Black (393,500), and Sean Wallace (378,500).  Players will return once again for Day 1B at 11:00am, with the live coverage picking up once the cards are in the air.
