Another 509 players bought into the 2021 Goliath Online on Day 1B on August 26, taking the total number of entries across the opening two flights to 1,046. Only 40 of the Day 1B starters made it through to Day 1B and nobody bagged up more chips than Tom Bacon.
Bacon sliced through the opposition and managed to turn his 25,000 starting stack into 821,345 chips, which were enough not only for the Day 1B chip lead, but enough to earn him the title of overall chip leader. Of course, there are three flights remaining but Bacon’s impressive total is going to take some catching.
