That's All She Wrote

Day 1a of the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Grand Final in Monte Carlo has come to an end. 351 players took the felt today all with the hopes of making it through to Day 2 and beyond. Just less than 180 players remain in the field and will combine with the remaining players from tomorrow's field for Day 2. It looks as though the chip leader from today will be Chris Bjorin with 171,100, but we'll have to wait for the official numbers to come in to be certain.

Plenty of notables began the day, but not all of them survived. Those who have made their way into the second day are Chris Moneymaker, Neil Channing, Men Nguyen, Dave "Doc Sands" Sands, Greg Raymer, and Owen Crowe, just to name a few.

Those who failed to make Day 2 are Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, "Miami" John Cernuto, Barry Greenstein, Phil Laak, and Gavin Griffin.

Around 500 players are expected to make their way into the Salle Des Etoiles at Le Sporting Club for Day 1b and we'll be here covering all the action from the felt at 12 p.m. local time. See you then!
