End Of Play

After the clock stopped, players finished their last few hands before packing up for the day.

Jeff Lisandro would have been the chip leader overall with around 236,000 when the remaining 300 or so players return tomorrow, except that he was pipped at the last minute by the late-surging Nikolai Senninger with a whopping 323,100.

Day 2 will restart at 12pm local time with the blinds starting at 600/1,200 with a 100 ante.

When You're Running Good...

Barry Schulman just doubled up, pushing all-in on a board with and getting paid by . He's back over the 100,000 mark after the turn was the and the river the .

Swing And A Miss For Thorson

William Thorson has doubled up the player to his immediate left, somehow missing with against on a board. All the money in on the flop we think.

Cowboys Show Devilfish What He's Missing

JC Tran, nonchalantly reading a magazine, raised to 2,500 in early position and Devilfish flatted in the cutoff. Small blind Sebastian Zink called too, and they saw a flop.

Tran now bet out 4,100 and Devilfish folded, sadly flashing his pocket kings at the gent on his left and all of us lucky folks behind the table. Zink called, though, and they proceeded.

"I had kings," Devilfish told them. "So sick."

Is er...what we guess the big blind is saying to Ram Vaswani.

Vaswani raised to 3,000 preflop and got called in several spots before the big blind squeezed all-in for about 30,000. Vaswani was the only caller as everyone else scurried for the hills screaming like extras in a Roland Emmerich movie.

Big Blind:

Incredibly unexciting board:
