Day 1 Complete
Day 1 of the World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event from the IP Casino Resort & Spa in Biloxi, Mississippi has come to a close. A field of 270 came to play today and 60 will return tomorrow with hopes of reaching the final table. At the top of the counts is Shane Sigsbee with 203,600
The most established player in the field, T.J. Cloutier, managed to survive Day 1 with a stack of 116,000. It was an up and down day for Cloutier, but he held strong with a shorter stack for much of the day before finding a key double in the last level. He will be back in action tomorrow, along with Cary Purcell (187,400), Anthony Ruffalo (187,300), Claudia Crawford (95,000), and many others. Among those that did not make it to Day 2 were "Captain" Tom Franklin, Gabe Costner, Chris Tryba, and Doug "Rico" Carli.
The 60 survivors will return to the felt at 12:00 pm local time tomorrow. Be sure to join us then.
Good night from Biloxi!
"Alright Partner, I'm Laying Down a Pair to You"
On the last hand of the night, action folded to T.J. Cloutier in middle position and he raised to 7,000. The cutoff then moved all in for a total of 38,500. Cloutier thought about it for awhile, shuffling his cards back and forth, before saying, "Alright partner, I'm laying down a pair to you."
Indeed, Cloutier folded and told the table he had pocket threes. Cloutier officially makes it to Day 2 with 116,000.
Where's the Action?
Action has slowed considerably as the end of Level 16 nears. Raise and take it seem to be the norm as of late. Players are apparently content to survive to Day 2 when players will return to play down to a final table.
Learn, Chat and Play with the Pros!
Although we didn't have any Full Tilt pros in the field today, you can bet they'll be making an appearance at the next Regional Championship in Atlantic City. Television coverage is planned as part of the newly revamped WSOP Circuit and it should bring out tons of big names.
We know our coverage is riveting and all, but we also know how well your are at multi-tasking. How about signing up for a Full Tilt Poker account and getting on the virtual felt? After all, it is where you can "Learn, Chat and Play with the Pros."
Calenzooooooooo
Action folded to Kevin Calenzo on the button and he moved all in for his last 29,000. The small blind folded as the big blind contemplated a call.
"Where's PokerNews?" shouted Calenzo. Little did he know we were standing right behind him. By the time he noticed, the big blind had folded and Calenzo showed the table his 
. He is now up to 35,000.
On a side note, Calenzo wanted us to report that he has outlasted his good friend Chris Tryba for at least the tenth tournament in a row. While we can confirm that he has indeed outlasted Tryba today, we're unable to verify Calenzo's claim regarding the prior nine.
Good News for Cloutier Fans
We didn't catch the hand, but T.J. Cloutier has been the fortunate recipient of a double up. He now sits with just over 100,000.
Hello Calenzo
We're not sure how he has managed to fly under the radar all day, but Kevin Calenzo has been spotted in the field. Calenzo finished second in the WSOPC Southern Indiana Main Event behind Charles "Woody" Moore. Calezon earned $61,724 for his performance along with some points on the National Leaderboard. If he wants to add some more points to that total, he'll have an uphill battle. He is short-stacked with 33,000.
Last Level of the Day
We have reached the last level of Day 1.
