Day 1 saw a number of big names hit the rail, including Kathy Liebert, J.C. Tran, Scott Clements, Kirk Morrison, Brian Wilson, Dan Harmetz, Marc Karam, and Jonathan Little. 2006 Harveys Lake Tahoe Main Event Champion Clint Baskin was also a Day 1 casualty.
Among those returning tomorrow are 2000 WSOP Main Event Champion Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, two-time WSOP bracelet winner and consummate tournament pro Hans "Tuna" Lund, and 2005 WSOP Main Event finalist Aaron Kanter. Kevin Vanderbeek owns the tournament's top stack with 88,000 in chips.
We hope you'll join us tomorrow at noon PST for our continued coverage of the Harveys Lake Tahoe WSOPC Main Event as we play down to the final nine contestants.
Until then, good night and good luck!

A player in early position limped in for 800 and when the action got around to Clements, he open-shoved for a total of 11,100. Beisner, sitting on the button with pocket tens, made the call and the limper got out of their way.
Clements showed the

, 
giving Beisner quad tens and the checkmark for the hand, eliminating Clements from the Main Event.
The field is currently led by Dennis Lane, who has amassed a chip stack of just under 70,000.
