With 20 minutes to go in the day, Joao Nunes and Jorge Arias are conspicuously absent from the remaining field of 180. They appear to have busted.

Csome Says Come Get Some After Day 1
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Day 1 is history for the 2011 PokerStars.net Latin American Poker Tour Sao Paulo Main Event. A record-shattering field of 536 players came out to kick things off with a bang and created a prizepool worth R$2,391,630. First place is worth a whopping R$615,840 and at the end of the day, 168 players remained.
Topping the pack was Leandro Csome. He bagged up 271,100 in chips and looks to have a very healthy margin between himself and second place. A couple of the other big stacks to end the day were Gerardo Godines with 194,000 and Rodrigo Vieira with 179,000.
Team PokerStars was out in full force today. The team members who failed to make it through the day were Gualter Salles, Jorge Arias, Joao Nunes, Diego Brunelli, Leo Fernandez, Andre Akkari and Fredy Torres. Don't worry though because Maria "Maridu" Mayrinck, Christian de Leon, Angel Guillen, Humberto Brenes and Nacho Barbero are all still in the hunt. Barbero bagged up one of the largest stacks of that bunch and will return tomorrow to continue the quest for LAPT title number three.
A few of the other notables to hit the rail during Day 1 were World Series of Poker bracelet winners Max and Maria Stern, young Brazilian professional Felipe Ramos, ex-footballer Paulo Rink and Christian Kruel.
With just about a third of the field remaining, the players will return tomorrow at 12:00 PM local time here in Sao Paulo, Brazil to keep this train moving. The plan is to play all the way down until just 24 remain. That could very well mean we're going to be in for a long one tomorrow, so pack some lunch, dinner, a midnight snack and a heck of a lot of coffee.
We'll see you right back here at PokerNews for all the live updates!
