Day 1b is a Wrap

The second and final day 1 flight is officially in the books. A total of 450 players took to the felt this afternoon, and twelve hours later we're left with approximately 225; we'll have the official number for you tomorrow morning.

Among those moving on are Team PokerStars pros Daniel Negreanu, Joe Hachem, Vanessa Rousso and Chad Brown, along with fellow pros Antonio Esfandiari and Gus Hansen. The unofficial Day 1b chip leader is Frenchman Cyril Bensoussan, who we estimate closed the day with right around 125,000 in chips.

We'll be back tomorrow afternoon - same bat time, same bat channel - with Day 2 coverage of the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Grand Final. Play will recommence at 1:00 p.m. local time (GMT+1) and thus, so will we.

Until then, from Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort in Monte Carlo, Monaco, good night and good luck!
