Jean „Prince“ Gaspard machte seine Ankündigung war. Vor dem Start von Tag 1B der $3.500 WPT Borgata Winter Open in Atlantic City, versprach der Amerikaner seinem Kumpel, dass er am Ende des Tages 200.000 Chips eintüten würde. Schließlich waren es 216.900 Chips, die Gaspard in seinen Beutel stopfen durfte, was gleichzeitig die Chiplead für Tag 2 des WPT-Events bedeutet.
Zuvor stieg die Anzahl der Entries von 397 (Tag 1A) auf insgesamt 1.120 an. Zu den 181 erfolgreichen Spielern des ersten Starttages, gesellten sich nach Beendigung von Tag 1B weitere 407 Survivors. Die Registrierung ist noch bis zu Beginn von Tag 2 geöffnet.
Nennenswert gut in das Turnier starteten ebenfalls an Tag 1B auch der ehemalige WPT Champion Asher Conniff, sowie Aaron Overton, Sean Winter, Mike Leah und Will Failla.
Die Chipcounts berücksichtigen nicht alle durch den Tag gekommenen Teilnehmer.
