Day 1a of the EPT National High Roller has come to an end after over 12 hours of poker with 158 players progressing to Day 2.

The flight drew a large number of entrants with the final count coming in at 1,053 with only 15% guaranteed a place in the money and a seat at the table from noon on Monday, August, 27.

Marc MacDonnell (600,000), Jack Salter (600,000) and Huesnue Salman (570,000) will all be among the top stacks at the start of play.

Team PokerStars pro Jeff Gross and Maria Konnikova have also secured a spot in the money and will be back in action alongside the likes of Anton Wigg, Benny Glaser, Vojtech Ruzicka, Will Kassouf, Charles Akadiri, and Guillaume Diaz.

Players such as Rex Clinkscales, Sylvain Loosli, Heidi May, Bart Lybaert, Chris Moorman, Jason Wheeler, Chris Da-Silva, Scott Margereson, Martin Jacobson and Kristen Bicknell all came and went.

A full list of Day 1a and Day 1b chip counts will be posted before the start of Day 2, when the players combine.

PokerNews will return at noon to bring you all the action as the field is reduced and a champion is crowned.
