The first of two Limit Hold’em events, Event #24: $1,500 Limit Hold’em, drew 616 entries, generating a total prize pool of $831,600. After ten 60-minute levels here on Day 1, approximately 132 players remain.

Michael Reed is the overnight chip leader with 111,600 chips, but Jeff Thompson is right behind him with 108,700. They are the only two in the six-figure range. Jeffrey Norman (93,100) and Harun Sapmaz (84,000) are also not far behind. Five-time Circuit ring winner Joshua Turner was near the top of the counts for most of the day and bagged one of the bigger stacks of 78,500.

Other notables to bag include Mike Cordell (72,500), Sean Berrios (71,900), three-time bracelet winner Barry Greenstein (54,400), Alex Luneau (53,500), Ray Henson (56,400), Esther Taylor (49,100), Terrence Chan (43,400), Ronnie Bardah (30,100), John Racener (18,000), Brock Parker (17,700), and Andrey Zaichenko (12,800).

Also, Tyler Bonkowski, who finished third in this event last year, is the only player still in the field looking to go for a back-to-back final table. He will have to do some work early tomorrow to do so as he goes into Day 2 with a short stack of 8,300.

Not all were fortunate to bag chips for Day 2. Many recognizable players busted before the end of the day, including Daniel Negreanu, Antonio Esfandiari, Ben Yu, Joe McKeehen, Ylon Schwartz, Greg Mueller, Anthony Zinno, Ismael Bojang, David “ODB” Baker, and James Woods. Most of the big names who registered during the final registration break did not bag, including Phil Hellmuth, Jason Mercier, Michael Mizrachi, Max Pescatori, Chris Ferguson, Michael Gathy, and Mark Radoja.

Day 2 will restart at 2 p.m. tomorrow and will last ten more levels of play. The event is scheduled to wrap up the following day. A total of 93 players will be in the money with a minimum payout of $2,246. The winner will receive $177,985 in addition to the coveted gold bracelet.
