A crucial pot after the dinner break against Tom Dwan went in Steven's favor, en route to his bagging the chip lead at night's end. Second in chips is Tobias Reinkemeier with 1,225,000. After late registering, Reinkemeier's Day 1 got off to a fast start after he eliminated Dan Smith. Rounding out the top five is Dan Shak (999,000), Jason Mo (975,000), and Chris Lee (906,000).

There is one empty seat at the Feature Table here in the Blue Section of the Amazon Room, and if you look closely at the bag hanging on the chair, the named scribbled on it reads "Phil Laak."
"How rich must that guy be?" Antonio Esfandiari, a good friend of Laak's, yelled from a different table.
The Magician then began negotiating a potential prop bet with tablemate Greg Mueller on whether or not Laak would arrive in the next nine minutes. Mueller didn't bite, thinking that Esfandiari could have extra information, and the bet was called off.
We will keep an eye out for Mr. Laak as the clock continues to bleed here in Level 11.
Action folded around to Jim McCrink on the button and he put in a raise to 15,000. Antonio Esfandiari was next to act in the small blind and opted for a three-bet to 38,000. The big blind quickly folded and McCrink took about a minute before he four-bet to 90,000.
Esfandiari hit the tank hard for about four minutes before waking up with a five-bet to 193,000. With the pressure back on McCrink, he spent about three minutes in the tank before announcing that he was all in for roughly 480,000. Esfandiari snap-called.
Esfandiari:
McCrink:
"Nice hand," McCrink complimented his opponent. Esfandiari was out of his seat with his gaze firmly fixed on the flop, which came down . McCrink came up dry and needed a nine in order to stay alive. The turn wasn't what he was looking for and neither was the river.
The stacks were counted down just to make sure, and then Esfandiari was awarded the monster pot.

Igor Kurganov opened for 13,000 from early position and cleared the field to Anton Morgenstern, who opted to move all in for 74,000 from the small blind. Kurganov made the call and the cards were turned up.
Morgenstern:
Kurganov:
Kurganov was ahead with his ace, but Morgenstern was drawing to two live cards. The flop wasn't particularly interesting, and neither was the turn. The river was paint, but it was the useless to send Morgenstern to the rail.
Meanwhile, Steve O'Dwyer, Keven Stammen and Cole South have all been eliminated in recent action.
