The clock has hit 00:00 for Day 1a and the players are bagging and tagging at the moment. There looks to be less than 90 players remaining and we'll confirm the numbers as soon as possible.
The survivors will back for Day 2 a noon.
Day 1b is halfway through Level 6.
Mark Kroon and Maurice Hawkins played a huge hand together. Hawkins opened and Kroon called to see a 
flop. Kroon bet, Hawkins shoved and Kroon called.
Kroon: 
Hawkins: 
The board completed 
and Hawkins was beside himself. His straight, flush and straight-flush draws all missed giving the pot to Kroon.
