That's a Wrap!

Play here at Event #13 has finally come to a close here in the Amazon room. 1,390 players started the event today and after ten levels of play we're down to just 141 remaining. The money is reached at 99 players, and we expect to reach that pretty swiftly after starting back up tomorrow afternoon.

Theo Tran and Eli Elezra are both going into Day 2 with commanding chip leads. Each looks to be sitting with roughly 130,000 in chips and as they are doing a redraw for tomorrow's seats, it will be interesting to see if these two players will face off sometime soon.

Make sure to tune in tomorrow at 2pm PDT for our continued live coverage of Event #13 as we follow play until the final table of nine is reached. How soon will the money be hit? How long will the night go? Make sure to tune in and find out!

Overnight, the WSOP staff has compiled and tabulated the player-recorded chip counts for the first day of Event #13, $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em. Eli Elezra holds the lead over a torrid Theo Tran, who will on Sunday attempt to qualify for his third final table of this year's series. Here's the overnight top ten:

Eli Elezra 147,500
Theo Tran 134,900
Greg Sellgren 130,000
Dean Bui 127,600
Napoleon Ta 127,200
Asger Boye 119,000
Marty Wong 113,700
Pedro Rios 113,500
Mathias Kuerschner 107,400
Jake Solis 106,800

The second ten includes Lee Watkinson and Vanessa Selbst, and several more "name" players remain high on the board. 137 players remain alive, and the field should reach the 99-player money bubble early in the day's action.

Check in at 2pm PDT for the restart of this fast-paced event.
