Gill Makes Final Charge At Chip Lead

[user57954]

On the verge of the close of today's play Carter Gill has raked in an enormous pot, much to the excitement of the large gallery hanging over the rail.

With the board reading {8-Spades}

, John Kim bets 10,000 into the sizeable pot and Gill makes the call.

The {5-Diamonds}

arrives on the river and Kim bets out enough to put Gill all in. However the decision was an easy one for Gill as he insta-calls with the nut flush with {A-Spades}

. Kim is disappointed as he mucks {7-Hearts}

.

That concludes play for this evening, and with this massive pot, Carter Gill is sure to be among the chip leaders. Stay tuned to our coverage as we will have the final chip counts for all remaining players very shortly!

[user38449]

The third and final Day 1 flight is in the books and 44 hopefuls made it through to the next stage of the tournament. At 12:30 p.m. local time tomorrow afternoon they’ll join the 72 others who survived flights on Days 1a and 1b and begin playing down to a final table.

2005 WSOP Main Event Champ and Team PokerStars player Joe Hachem didn’t disappoint the many fans that came out to support him throughout the day, as he’s made it through to Day 2 with 54,400 in chips. Australian pro Michael “Sticky” Guttman amassed the largest chip stack of all Day 1c players, though he only ranks 13th amongst the entire Day 2 field of 116 players. Guttman will return tomorrow with 162,500 in chips.

The stage has been set for a doozy of a Day 2, as we’ll see the likes of Hachem, Scotty Nguyen, Gary Benson, Lee “Final Table” Nelson, Leo Boxell and Terrence Chan mix it up with a plethora of talented locals and Internet qualifiers. We’ll be your eyes and ears reporting live from the heart of the action inside the Star City poker room and we hope you’ll join us!

Until then, good night and good luck!
