The first stateside edition of the PokerNews Cup has seen Day 1 come and go, and Day 2 is on the horizon with a kickoff set for noon local time here at the Borgata in Atlantic City, N.J.
Yesterday, 16 levels were played, and of the 120 entries, 26 players booked tickets to today's Day 2.

Things begin at Level 17 (2,500/5,000/500) and continue throughout the day with 40-minute levels until a final table has been reached. At that point, levels move to 50 minutes. Stay tuned here on PokerNews to find out the next champion of the PokerNews Cup.
