Día 1b llega a su fin con 95 players remaining. There was a close battle in the final 15 minutes for the $10,000 chipleader bonus between Vivek Rajkumar (~170,000), Luis Velador (~150,000), and Isaac Baron (~130,000).
In those final 10-15 minutes, Rajkumar lost a few pots to drop him down below 140,000. Velador lost a few pots of his own to finish below 130,000.
