Bear-ing The Chip Lead...
Play is now over for the day and Barry Greenstein looks to be the chip leader with about 177,200 going into Day 2.
68 players remain from the 527 that started today, massive carnage for an event. However, 14 players will still come back tomorrow and not get paid with money bubble popping at 54. We'll be playing down to the final table of nine tomorrow night.

Shaun Deeb is down to just a few thousand after a nasty limit spot. Deeb bet the flop before getting check-raised on the turn. His opponent bet the river too and Deeb called another bet there before mucking when he was shown .
The limit is certainly causing some vicious swings tonight.

Damn A-K's...
UTG raises to 2,400 and Kirill Rabtsov makes it 7,000 in late position. Gavin Griffin reraises to 20,000 and the other two move all in with Griffin making the call for about 7,000 more on top of his 4-bet.
UTG:
Rabstov:
Griffin:
The board comes out and Rabstov is up to 85,000. Griffin has 65,000 and the UTG player is eliminated.
