That's a Wrap for Day 1

Our Chip Leader
Our Chip Leader
With 17 minutes remaining on the clock in Level 11, play has come to a close for the night as we have slipped under the requisite number of runners left.

What started with 179 entrants some 13 hours ago is now just a sparse field of the 35 remaining players. The day started off slow as expected, but things gradually picked up as 75 players were knocked out before the dinner break. The pace certainly continued to quicken after supper as well. In the last five levels, we lost another 69 players to end up with our final number, despite the usual slowdown towards the end of the night.

Some of the big-name casualties of the first day include Al Krux, Shaun Deeb, Jason Young, Doug "Rico" Carli, Eric "sheets" Haber, and Bret "Gank" Jungblut. Sirous Jamshidi staved off elimination, and he will return tomorrow with the short stack of 23,700.

On the other end of the spectrum, Bill Gazes is our overnight chip leader, bagging up a whopping 336,700 chips. That is, if he can squeeze all of those checks into the bag. Mike Leah is hot on his heels though with just under 275,000, and Allen Bari is just a few thousand behind that. Full chip counts straight off the bags are available in the tab to the right of this page.

Play was scheduled to start at noon tomorrow, but the staff has decided to push that back two hours at the behest of the majority of the players. With that, Day 1 is concluded. We hope you'll join us tomorrow at noon -- errr, 2:00pm -- as we play down to our final nine. Until then, goodnight from Atlantic City!
