More than half the field fell by the wayside in just eight hours of play today, including Brian Townsend, Roland de Wolfe, Jesper Hougaard, Andy Black and Jennifer Tilly. Among our remaining runners, though, we have such luminaries as Phil Laak, Albert Iversen, Julian Thew and Jamie Gold, so it should be a very interesting Day 2.

At the moment it looks as though Maurice Harmon and Andrew Pantling are vying for the chip lead on around 100,000 apiece. Full chip counts should appear in here courtesy of PaddyPower.com in the morning, shortly before the players get back to the felt. For now though, all the action has moved to the bar where we understand some considerable craic is being enjoyed.
