Day 1 Complete
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Going back to the beginning, we saw a field of 457 players register for this event, and we have 85 of them who will return tomorrow to fight it out for a spot in the final nine. All that's left for the players tonight is a little bit of housekeeping. They are just finishing up racing off and coloring up the T25 green chips before they bag and tag their stacks for the overnight hibernation.
As we glance around the room, it appears that Stephen McKinney is our chip leader with 85,000 in chips going to Day 2. There are still a number of pros to get through though, as the likes of Howard Lederer, Joe Hachem, Erik Seidel, Allen Cunningham, and Ted Forrest still remain in contention.
Thank you for joining us today from the Brasilia Room here at the Rio. See you tomorrow at 3:00pm PDT!
