- Big Stax XXII 1500 Main Event 9:40 PM
- Level 12 (1000/2000/300)
- Day 1B Entries: 247
- Total Entries: 418
The field is now down to just 12 tables as the final break of the night approaches. Now inside the original prediction of 400-450 entries, there is still three more full levels plus Day 2 entries to push towards the top end of that range and creating a much larger prize-pool than last August.

Nick Verderamo is one of the players who has moved up since dinner break and has ~260k in his arsenal. Verderamo has ~$137k in winnings and is getting his first taste of Big Stax action after playing primarily in Maryland. His best score came earlier this year at the WPTDeepstacks stop at Maryland Live where he took 2nd for $66,583 in the $1500 Main Event.
