2009 World Series of Poker Europe

Day 1b Complete

And that's a wrap, folks. With the dust beginning to settle and the smoke clearing, there are a total of 107 players remaining, 28 more than survived yesterday. If anything, that signifies what kind of day this was: a day in which the grinder prevailed, and few big stacks were created.

But if there was one player that broke the mold today it was 'Bald Eagle' Steve Zolotow, who after his monster encounter late in the day, finished level six with 160,000 and the honour of being today's chip leader. But with joy comes disappointment, as tomorrow he'll be the chaser rather than the chasee, with Brian Powell commencing Day Two as the 'man to beat' with just under 200,000.

Thanks to the religion of Judaism, we'll be returning later than normal (lie-in, woohoo) at the more poker-player-friendly time of 5.30pm. Join us then, different bat time, same bat channel.
