Day 1a Completed

Action is over for today. There are about 228 players remaining in Flight 1a. Day 1b will start at Noon on Sunday.

Don't forget to check out our Photo Gallery, Videos, and Feature Hands section.

Winding Down

Empty cups litter the floor, chip bags are being passed out and the "Bellagio Finish" is in place. With 15 minutes to go in the last round of the day, one card is drawn and that determines how many more hands will be played tonight.

Three more hands tonight.

This in theory prevents stalling at the end of a day.

As BJ says: "a good solution to a non-problem."

Alan Smurfit Eliminated

After a flop of {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Alan Smurfit was all in with {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} against another player's {Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Smurfit was behind with top set against his opponent's flush, and needed the board to pair to stay alive. But the last two cards were {6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and Alan Smurfit was eliminated.
