The Texas Poker Open $3,300 Main Event continued from Champions Club in Houston, Texas on Friday, featuring a $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Day 1D drew 170 entries, bringing the total field size to 340 entries through the first four starting flights. Leading the 21 Day 1D survivors is Aaron Gao with 1,198,000.
The largest of the starting flights so far also lasted the longest, as Day 1D went two additional levels compared to the two prior non-turbo flights. The bubble bursted in a cooler, when Phu Vo's pocket kings cracked Thai Ha's pocket aces. That vaulted Vu to third in chips from Day 1D with 971,000. Rounding out the top five are Jacob Hamed with 1,078,000, San Kim with 827,000, and Terry Morales with 796,000.
All Day 1 survivors will combine for Day 2 on Sunday, April 27, at 3 p.m. CT.
