Today's abbreviated day saw around half the field exit as we expect approximately 80 players to return for Day 2 tomorrow.
Many of the big name professionals will be happy with their day at the office with the likes of David Saab, Celina Lin, Eddie Sabat, Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier, Dan Schreiber, Van Marcus and Ivan Tan all making it through the day.
Larry Pashak was amongst the leaders all day, with Hidenari Shiono making a late surge but they will all be chasing our likely overnight chip leader Jan Van Dyk who bagged up around 55,000 chips. We'll have the updated chip counts for all players for you shortly.
Please join us again tomorrow from the Walker Hill Casino here in Seoul, South Korea, as the survivors will probably have a long day in front of them as they play down to a final table of nine players. Our coverage recommences at 1 p.m. tomorrow and we look forward to your company once again!
