Say Goodbye to Day 1
And what a Day 1 it's been! With 3,097 players sitting down to start off the day, we're already down to just under 400 through ten levels of play.
With such a huge field, it's no surprise that it was peppered with notable players. Those who will be showing up for another day of play tomorrow include our chip leader Will Failla (156,000), Chino Rheem (63,000), Dutch Boyd (61,000), Theo Tran (54,000), John Phan (58,500), John Juanda (50,000), David Chicotsky (46,000), Jonathan Little (41,000), Victor Ramdin (28,500), Tom Schneider (25,900) and Adam Junglen (24,000).
Many weren't so lucky, though. Included in those who won't be showing up tomorrow are Phil Ivey, Eric Baldwin, David Williams, Dennis Phillips, James Akenhead, Joe Sebok, Chris Moorman, Phil Gordon, Bertrand Grospellier, Neil Channing, Sorel Mizzi, Faraz Jaka, Shaun Deeb, Hoyt Corkins, Tony Dunst, Scott Montgomery, Scott Seiver, Jason Mercier and Antonio Esfandiari.
The screens went black before play concluded, so we're not sure exactly how many players are left, but it's certainly less than 400. That means we can expect to hit the money extremely quickly tomorrow. Make sure you join us at 2:30pm local time as we try to play down to a final table.
