Complete chip counts for all 166 Day 1 survivors are now available in the chip-count section at right.
These players will sleep in a bit later tomorrow and arrive here for a 2:00pm PDT start time. They'll then play down to the final nine players who will comprise Thursday's final table.
Andy Garza ends the day as the probable chip leader with 164,000. George Lind and Donny Carlton are not far behind however, each with over 125,000 in chips.
