That Does it for Day 1
![[user123189]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
After eight hours of play, allegations of marked cards, suckouts on the river and debates over floor rulings, we've reached the end of play for the evening.
Only 192 players of our original 453 will return for play tomorrow. Leading the pack are Jared Jaffe (71,125), Suk Min Sung (67,900) and Justin Smith (658,225). However, it was a talent-heavy pool of players and it's not going to be easy for any one of them to reach the final table. Heavy hitters such as Daniel Negreanu, Mike Matusow, Jennifer Harman, Alex Kravchenko, Michael Mizrachi, Bill Chen, Justin Bonomo, Chris Ferguson and Andrew Robl are also in the mix and waiting to make a move for the lead.
Due to tomorrow's Tournament of Champions, Day 2 has been moved back to 4:10 PM local time. The plan is to play another nine levels before returning on Monday to settle things for good.
Thanks for joining us this evening, we'll see you tomorrow!
