In a preflop confrontation, Wagner held
against Rivera's 
but when the board fell 
, Wagner made a full house to leave Rivera without any chips to bag up.Wagner will stand atop the chip count leaderboard with around 105,000.
Many big name players were eliminated during the day's play with Jonny Vincent, Barry Greenstein, Grant Levy, Tony Dunst, Eric Assadourian, Celina Lin and Liz Lieu all biting the dust.
Those who survived include John Juanda, Wooka Kim, Mike "Timex" McDonald, Guray Turkay and Harry Demetriou. They will be led overnight by Andre Wagner, who appeared to slip into the chip lead on the final hand of play. We'll have the updated chip counts for you as soon as they come in.
Tomorrow, a fresh batch of warriors will enter the fray of the Grand Waldo Hotel and Casino for Day 1b. We are expecting a larger turnout with the action kicking off at 1:30 p.m. local time. We hope you will join us once again for all the live action!
