Nearly all of the well-known professionals that opted to play in this tournament were in the field today; not all did so well. David Steicke and Quinn Do were early departures, but many others fared reasonably well. Chino Rheem, Ivan Tan, Bryan Huang, David Saab, Liz Lieu and Andrew Scott will all return for Day 2.
Everyone who does return tomorrow will be chasing APT Macau runner-up Steven Yea. Yea crushed the field today, finishing with 122,700 chips in his stack. Quickly eyeballing the field, we didn't see anyone else who was even over 100,000. Yea has significantly more chips than the Day 1a leader, Neil Arce (85,800).
69 survivors are in the Day 2 field. 27 of them will make the money. Play kicks off at 12 noon local time. We'll see you then.
"He's the oldest Kluber in the world," Kluber said as he raised up another pot preflop and took it down uncontested.
, Rheem bet 4,200. Tan tanked for two minutes before making the call. The river fell 
. Rheem checked, then folded after Tan moved all in. Once the pot was secure, Tan turned over a stone bluff -- 
.Tan is up to 56,000 now, a height from which Rheem has descended to 33,000.
Geoghegan got his chance when it was folded to him on the button and he moved all in for his last 8,800. Nam Le folded in disgust as Rheem called and threw the chips into the middle.
Geoghegan:
Rheem:
It was a race of the unusual kind, in which Rheem came out on top when the board ran out
. Geoghegan headed to the rail as Rheem climbed back above the 40,000 mark.
Yea can relax a little, as it looks like he'll head into Day 2 with the clear chip lead. Nam Le (88,000), John O'Shea (66,000), and Bryan Huang (62,000) are his closest counterparts.
and 8,500 in the pot, Tan moved all in for 14,200 more. Le thought it over for a while before reluctantly folding his hand.Tan's up to 22,700.
. The small blind fired again for 4,000 when the turn fell 
. Saab, always fearless, called that bet too. Both players shut down on the
river. The small blind turned over an unimproved 
; Saab showed for two pair, tens and nines, and the winner. He's up to 53,500.

flop improved Le's opponent to a pair of queens, but nothing is ever settled in Texas Hold'em until the river card comes down. The turn 
gave Le a gutshot straight draw to go with his set draw; the 
that hit the river filled the gutshot.Le's now on 87,000 in chips.
