Gao Shouyi & Sebastian Toro Bag Big as 54 Players Advance from Day 1b Flight
Day 1b of the 2022 Wynn Summer Classic $1,600 Mystery Bounty took place on Thursday, July 14, and attracted 496 runners, which along with Day 1a's 459 brought the field up to 955 runners with the third and final flight still to go.
Of those, just 54 survived the night with Gao Shouyi and his stack of 1,009,000 leading the way. That is a bit ahead of Day 1a chip leader Sean Conklin, who made it through with 897,000.
Phil Guenzel (879,000), Sebastian Toro (675,000), Han Feng (628,000), and Steve Niste (589,000) round out the top five from the second flight.
Others to make it through were Sean Ragozzini (468,000), Irene Carey (394,000), Clayton Fletcher (287,000), Simeon Naydenov (278,000), Jim Agate (266,000), Vlad Revniaga (194,000), Christian Harder (156,000), and Nick Zautra (63,000).
All the Day 1a and 1b survivors, 104 in total, will return for Day 2 action at Noon local time on Saturday, July 16. They will also be joined by any survivors from the third and final flight on Friday.
