Day 1B of the Monster Stack reached a hard stop even earlier than its predecessor. With 20 minutes left in Level 22, the field fell to 34 players (5% of the field), causing a full pause and bag up for the night.
Five different survivors bagged seven-figure sums, but no one was able to surpass Scott Baumstein's 1,535,000 from Day 1A. Kevin Naim topped the Flight B counts with 1,350,000.
Bagging just under the milly mark was all-time gold ring winner Maurice Hawkins and WSOP gold bracelet winner Howard Mash at 955,000 a piece. Two other bracelet winners also secured a Day-2 berth, David Moses (810,000) and Marsha Wolak (335,000).
Here is a full look at Flight-B chip counts:
The surviving players will combine with the 24 players from Flight A and resume play Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. for Day 2.
