Day 1a Complete

Along with the chips, Day 1a is now in the bag after a fast-paced, action-packed eight and three quarter levels. In that time, we lost a remarkable 254 players, of which included the likes of Barry Greenstein, Erik Seidel and champion bullet-dodger Phil Hellmuth. But whilst the stars passed without so much of a glimmer, more local names shone bright: Richard Kellett, Andrew Seden and WSOP hero JP Kelly all taking this opening event by the scruff of the neck and flying the flag with pride.

But, of course, this is just part one - tomorrow sees a second batch of salivating poker fanatics enter the fray, all bracelet hungry and eager to surpass Kelly's achievements from today. So, on that note, join us again tomorrow afternoon, same bat time, same bat channel (12pm and PokerNews... just in case).
