That's A Wrap!
Falling just short of the guarantee, the prize pool of HK$10 million was up for grabs and it didn't take long for the action to heat up as Celina Lin found out when her aces were cracked by Yevgeniy Timoshenko in the first level. The eliminations were steady throughout the day, with less than half of the original starts making it through to see day two action.
Survivors include Joe Hachem, Van Marcus, Mike McDonald, Julian Powell, Barry Greenstein and Terrence Chan. They will all be chasing the unstoppable David Steicke who amassed a huge chip lead and carried it through until the final cards were dealt.
The players will return at 2 p.m. tomorrow as they play down to a final table of nine players. We look forward to your company then!
