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!
