Event #8, $2,500 No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven Lowball, began with 147 entrants and some of the biggest names in poker. Top professionals such as Daniel Negreanu, Doyle Brunson, Chau Giang, Mike Caro, Jen Harman, and Allen Cunningham were some of the victims during today's play, but after it was all said and done, 35 players are returning tomorrow.

Among the 35 players returning tomorrow are Phil Ivey, Erick Lindgren, Freddy Deeb, John Juanda, Erik Seidel, and Barry Greenstein. Layne Flack, Lindgren, George Danzer, and Phil Hellmuth all hold around the same amount of chips and could easily come out as the chip leader from Day 1 once everything is officially counted. Mike Peltekci is also yielding a nice stack size as the day comes to a close.

Play is scheduled to begin tomorrow at 2:00 PM local time. The plan for tomorrow is to grind our way down until the final table is set.

We'll see you all back here tomorrow for all the live coverage of Event #8.
