Shaun Deeb Leads After Day 1B
Day 1B has concluded at Spielbank Berlin.
This morning, 375 runners attended the Day 1A flight, and they played down to 28 players over the course of 15 levels. Phil Hellmuth and David "ODB" Baker both advanced through the opening flight, while Erik Scheidt finished with the big stack of 129,000 chips. The full list of chip counts from Day 1A is available in the reports section.
Day 1B began at 7:00 p.m. with another 473 players, and that number was reduced to 30 by the time the bags came out in the wee hours of the morning.
Shaun Deeb finished the B flight as the overall chipleader with 212,000, looking to gain more ground in the 2015 POY race. Deeb is followed by Felix Bleiker and Alex Rocha (who also cashed in the Day 1A flight). The full list of chip counts for the Day 1B survivors is available in the reports section.
