Craig Casino went on a heater when it really counted – the final 30 minutes of the night – to bag the top stack in Day 1A of the four-flight HPT East Chicago $1,650 Main Event.
Casino – who barely avoided elimination late in the night – piled up the chips at the end to put a stack of 464,000 in his Day2Bag. Barry Schmiess (386,000) and Dan Hummer (290,000) round out the top-3 stacks on the night.
