Day One Complete

With the end of Level 8, play has come to a halt for the day. We began at 5:00pm with 261 players and we have crept under 130 by the end of the night. The field was laced with pros, and we still have a good number of the full-timers who will return tomorrow for Day Two.

Despite all of the big-name pro action, it appears that our big stack is something of an unknown. The presumed overnight chip leader is Matt "Big Grapes" Grapenthien with 51,900 in chips. Grapenthien is from Chicago, Illinois, and he plays $1,000-$2,000 heads-up H.O.R.S.E. online. Shawn Sheikhan, Marco Traniello, Barry Greenstein, and both Mizrachi brothers are all hot on his heels, and tomorrow promises a tough fight for all.

We'll be back at 3:00pm local time to pick up the action, playing down to our final eight by the end of the evening. We hope you'll join us then!
