Play Concludes For the Evening
We saw a lot of big names go out today. Antonio Esfandiari, Chris Moneymaker, Jennifer Tilly and Shannon Shorr just to name a few. Still alive are Mimi Tran, Vanessa Rousso, Matt Matros and a handful of other notables.
Alvin Zeidenfeld ends the day as our probable chip leader with about 157,000. Andes Fraulund and Elliot Smith are not far behind however, both with over 100,000.
We hope you'll join us for day 2 action which starts tomorrow at 2 p.m. PDT from the nearby Brasilia room. The 228 remaining players will play down to the final nine that will comprise Tuesday's final table.
As always, official chip counts and seat assignments will be posted as soon as they become available.
