This year��s edition of The $365 Bar Poker Open Championship Invitational saw a total of 428 play their last shot at Day 2 here at The Golden Nugget, Las Vegas. Combined with numbers from yesterday��s two flights, the total number of entrants into the tournament lands at 1,164. This tournament is not only a bigger tournament than last year but the biggest invitational tournament in the country.

Leading the way of the final flight is Billy Hayes, who bagged up 1,200,000. Hayes saw himself go on a late night tear to rake in the majority of the pots at his table, now enough chips for the top five stacks in the whole tournament. Sitting behind him is Patrick Terek (1,112,000), who spent most of the day as one of the biggest stacks in the field, sticking out with his bright outfit.

One former BPO main event champion made his way to the end of the day as Thomas Nefcy (505,000). Nefcy spent a decent chunk of the day at the same table as the player who got second place to him in 2022 Kourtney Simms. While Simms couldn��t find a bag, Nefcy will join two other former BPO champions in the hope of taking down the massive $100,000 score.

Patrick Terek
Patrick Terek wore a colorful assortment of clothes for today, and he now sits in second place.

The 24 players finished with 7:25 left in level 19, with blinds at 10,000/25,000 and a 25,000 big blind ante on the first day. Blinds will go from 30-minute levels to 45-minute levels, and play will go to 8-handed. These final 22 players will join yesterday��s 38 players, and each person will begin to duke it out for the newest crown of the BPO and $100,000.
