Day 1-Been

And with that, we are all out of Day 1s.
Our chip leader with exactly 190,000 - and in fact chip leader overall going into Day 2 - is Laurence "rivermanl" Houghton. He was seated all day at our primary Table Of Death - among the folks who passed through there were Ramzi Jelassi and ElkY (both busted) and Daniel Negreanu (still in with 54,200) - but Houghton was not a big stack by any means until the latter stages of the day.
Some of the folks who, like ElkY and Jelassi, will definitely not be progressing any further in this tournament owing to their complete lack of chips are John Juanda, David Benyamine, Rob Hollink, Marcel Luske and Dario Minieri.
A happier day, though, was had by the likes of Fatima Moreira de Melo, Jan Heitmann, Nacho Barbero, reigning champion Pascal Perrault and latest-of-the-latecomers Tom "durrrr" Dwan - all will be joining the Day 1a survivors tomorrow back in the refined interior of the Kursalon for Day 2.
The bags are still being counted, but it will most likely be somewhere in the region of 160 runners who finished Day 1b with chips still remaining in their possession, meaning that the Day 2 runners will number roughly 280. The full official chip counts will magically appear here at PokerNews in an hour or so, but beyond that, until noon tomorrow, it's goodnight Vienna.
