Grayson Ramage Leads After Day 1 of Event #42
Day 1 of Event #42: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed Championship is in the books after 10 one-hour levels. About 129 players remain from the 332 that registered today. Fifty players will make the money, cashing for at least $15,091, but they all have their sights set on the first-place prize of $775,923 and the World Series of Poker gold bracelet.
Bagging the chip lead was Grayson Ramage (527,700). Having amassed a stack early in the day, Ramage was on top of the counts for the final four levels without ever really being challenged for the chip lead. Second in chips is bracelet winner Sam Stein (364,500), then William Stevenson (355,100), and he is followed by two-time bracelet winner Cliff Josephy (330,300).
Other big stacks include Ryan Leng (298,400), Goran Mandic (258,800), Rainer Kempe (254,400), Matt Berkey (253,000), Kristen Bicknell (239,400) and Olivier Busquet (201,400).
Defending champion Martin Kozlov failed to make it through the day as he ran into aces full against Matt O��Donnell. Some other notables who failed to survive were multiple bracelet winners Daniel Negreanu, Paul Volpe, Antonio Esfandiari, Shaun Deeb, Upeshka De Silva, Doug Polk and Jason Mercier.
Play resumes Thursday at 2 p.m. and the PokerNews team will be on hand to provide live updates on all of the action.
