Almost Set for Day 2

Welcome back to Harrah's Resort and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey for PokerNews' continuing coverage of the World Series of Poker Circuit. Our event began just over 24 hours ago with 179 hopefuls vying for the title, the money, and the gold ring. Only 35 of those original entrants are still in the running for the championship, and only about half of those will earn a payday today.

Bill Gazes stormed to the chip lead during the last half of Day 1, finishing up with a staggering 336,700 chips. Quite a step from the 20,000 he began with. There are a few contenders hot on his heels though, and it's still anyone's game with two full days of poker remaining.

Play will be underway in a little more than a half hour -- at 2:00pm local time (EDT). So stretch your legs, grab a snack, and follow along with us as we play down to our final table!
