Day 1 is a Wrap

Play has concluded for the evening here in Tahoe and 55 of the 132 starters survived the day. Though the field was relatively small, several big names came out to play including, but not limited to, last year's Tahoe champ and WSOP Main Event winner Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, fellow WSOP Main Event champs Jerry Yang and Johnny Chan, two-time bracelet winners Jeff Madsen, Max Pescatori and Scott Clements, top female pro and WSOP bracelet winner Kathy Liebert and Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler.

Chris Dombrowski is our unofficial chip leader heading into Day 2 and he's followed closely behind by tournament neighbor Ty Stewart. Official chip counts and Day 2 seat assignments will be posted as soon as they are made available to us.

Play is scheduled to resume tomorrow at noon local time (GMT -8) and we'll be playing down from 55 to a final table. Until then, from Harveys Hotel and Casino in South Lake Tahoe, good night and good luck!
