The survivors from the two separate flights of Day 1 combined into one field on Sunday at the World Poker Tour (WPT) Jacksonville stop, the first WPT event ever held in the northern Florida city. Day 1A saw 88 of 188 players stay alive for today’s Day 2, while 80 made it through Day 1B of the original 205 entrants. Many of those Day 1B entrants may have actually been the same as ones from Day 1A, as anyone who busted during the first flight was able to try again in the second flight. All told, 168 of 393 made it to Day 2. Just 42 runners survived to today’s Day 3, with Vitor Coelho sitting on monster chip lead. With 945,000 chips, he towers over Connor Drinan, who, with 605,000, sits in second place.
