78 Left

J.C. Tran was unable to nurse that short stack much longer, and has just been eliminated. So has Phil Tom.

About halfway through our last level of the night, we are now down to 78 players left from our original field of 101.

Black Is Back

Andy Black opened with a raise from the button, the big blind made it 6,000 to go, then Black reraised all in for 27,200. His opponent called.

Both stood pat, Black showed {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}, and his opponent mucked. Black is up to 58,000.

Four More Hands

The tourney clock has been stopped with ten minutes left in the level, and a draw of a card has determined we're to play four more hands before stopping for the evening.

As expected, the $10,000 Deuce-to-Seven Draw Lowball Championship (No-Limit) attracted a star-studded field as poker's elite came out to compete for what has come to be regarded as one of the more prestigious bracelets among the preliminary events.

A total of 101 came out for today's event, making for a prize pool of $949,400. Among the greats making up today's field were Johnny Chan, Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Jeffrey Lisandro, Erik Seidel, Carlos Mortensen, Doyle Brunson, Huck Seed, Chris Ferguson, Barry Greenstein, Mike Matusow, Daniel Negreanu, Greg Mueller, Tom Schneider, and Billy Baxter. And that's just limiting ourselves to those holding multiple WSOP bracelets!

The first four levels featured those "add-on" chips, meaning we saw only a couple of eliminations before the dinner break. We saw a few more hit the rail as the night came to a close, including Chan, Ivey, and Lederer.

Tommy Vedes held the chip lead during the last couple of levels tonight, only to be overtaken by Homan Houshiar at the very end. Houshiar bagged 116,100 chips once play concluded, and will be at the top of the leaderboard when the 72 remaining players return tomorrow.

Thanks for following our coverage of Day 1. Be sure to come back tomorrow at 3 p.m. Vegas time for continuing coverage of Event No. 19.
