Play Concludes

Play began today with 553 players, and we have eliminated all but 169 of them as play comes to a halt for the night. Today began quite slow, with the players seemingly measuring their tables and the action, not willing to get entangled in any large pots. The pace picked up a bit as play went on tonight, but has still been relatively steady and tranquil for the most part.

As far as we can tell, the overnight chip leader is Marc Goodwin with about 33,500. The top of the leader board is stacked with pros though, and Barry Greenstein, Jimmy Fricke, and Men Nguyen are all close to the lead. We will post the updated Day 2 chip counts as soon as they are released to us.

We will return tomorrow at 3:00pm PDT to play down to our final table of nine. Join us then!
