Corwin Cole - Day 1 Chip Leader
Corwin Cole - Day 1 Chip Leader
It was an action-packed day as 1,695 players assembled throughout the Rio's tournament rooms to start the $2,000 No-Limit Hold 'em event.

As usual, a number of big names were visible throughout the field, with pros like Kathy Liebert, Joe Sebok, Scott Seiver, Jonathan Little and Andy Black all making appearances. Most of the pros - like most of the field - failed to make Day 2, with just 213 returning when we restart tomorrow.

Corwin Cole will own the big stack tomorrow with nearly 185,700 chips. He'll be followed closely by Guillaume de la Gorce and Chino Rheem, who was chip leader for most of the day.

Join us again at 2PM tomorrow as we play our way down toward a final table.
