![[user272102]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
An impressive field of 292 players made the journey to Borgata today to take part in the $560 Deep-Stack No Limit Hold 'Em Reentry tournament and by the time play concluded a little after 2:30 am there were just 27 remaining. These players will go to bed knowing that when they return tomorrow that they will have turned a profit in this event as they are now in the money. The prize pool is $141,620 and 1st place will take home an impressive $39,650.
John Tavss floated around the chip lead most of the day and made a big push at the end of the night to end as the chip leader with 705,000 in chips. Sitting in 2nd place is James Gettinger who tangled with 4th place Maggie Morris in two key hands. The first saw Gettinger fold when Morris shoved all in with the nut flush draw and the other hand had Gettinger doubling up Morris when he tried to get her to fold on the bubble. Despite the two hands, Gettinger has 645,000 in chips while Morris has 588,000. Rounding out the top three is Joe Stiers who ended the day with 622,000.
Among those who took part in the tournament but were unable to cash were Timothy Little, Tony Sinishtaj, Fred Paradis, Katayon Khaterzai, Kenneth Lind, Gerard Kane, James Woods, Greg Ostrander, Joe McKeehen, Adam Foster, Phong "VIP" Nguyen, and Luke Edwards.
Early on the story was Anthony Sivolella as he picked up Aces against Kings and then would crack Aces with a meager 
. He would finish the day with 476,000.
Some of the names that have moved on to Day 2 were Nick Gandhi (489,000), Tom Dobrilovic (410,000), She Lok Wong (275,000), Michael Savino (133,000), and Anna Antimony (32,000). Antimony hung on for quite some time as the short stack including a hand where she doubled up with 
when she would hit an Ace to outdraw her opponent's 
.
The unfortunate bubble honors would go to Catherine Dever who started the day off hot but would end up losing a race on the last hand of the evening when her 
was unable to improve against Roger Lovett's 
.
Play will resume tomorrow afternoon and if today is any indication it's going to be a great end of the tournament. PokerNews will be there to capture all of the action. Tune in to find out who emerges victorious!
