Dakota Anderson Tops 15 Survivors After Marathon Day 1A

The headline action of the day belonged to the Championship Warm Up , which drew 119 entries on Day 1A. After almost 12 hours and 16 levels, just 15 players survived to bag up for Day 2.

Dakota Anderson leads the way with a commanding 761,000 chips (95 BB). Anderson also delivered the final elimination of the night, sending Anthony Abram to the rail in the last all-in before play stopped. Anderson’s latest major title came in January, when he won the Manila Super Series Main Event for $30,700, and he’ll be looking to add another trophy here.

Behind him, Liang Hao Chen bagged 618,000 (77 BB), with Sven Dermott completing the top three on 524,000 (66 BB).
