Nguyen Looking for a Second
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
We've got one day behind us at the WSOP-C Harrah's Chester.
A total of 269 players showed up for this $1,600 Main Event, the penultimate one of the 2010-11 Circuit season. With several other major tournaments running around the world, it's no surprise to see a bit of a thin field here this week, but the notables that were nearby came out in full force. Full Tilt Red Pro "Miami" John Cernuto was here, along with fellow Circuit regulars like Chris Reslock, Chris Tryba, Allen Kessler, Matt Glantz, and Josh Brikis. All six of those men fell by night's end, however.
On the flip side of things, we've got a familiar Circuit face atop the overnight chip counts. In January, Huy Nguyen took down the Main Event at Choctaw Casino in Oklahoma, locking up his seat in the National Championship in May. One Main Event ring may not be enough for Nguyen, though, and he's gunning for number two here this week. He's stuffed his bag with 241,400 chips, good enough to set the pace for the remaining field on Day 2. Also still in the mix are Ari Engel, Zach Gruneberg, Matt Brady, Jake Toole, and Mark "dipthrong" Herm.
The 55 who survived this opening day will be back here at noon tomorrow to pick up the story. We'll be here too, and we hope you'll join us as we play down to a final table.
Until then, all that's left is goodnight!
