Day 1 Concludes; Back at 2pm

Given that we're playing limit, this has been a surprisingly fast-paced Day 1. We saw our first exit within the first two hours of play, and the exits came thick and fast as the day progressed.

Like every World Championship event, we saw more than our fair share of big names, and among those who bit the dust on Day 1 were Phils Hellmuth and Ivey, reigning champion Rob Hollink, Daniel Negreanu, Mike Matusow and Liz Lieu.

Day 2 looks to be a very interesting one, with Bill Chen, Annie Duke, Brunsons Sr and Jr and Jennifer Harman all still in the running. Mark Klecan leads the field on 115,000 with Josh Arieh, Shaun Deeb, Greg Mueller and Mark Teltscher all not far behind.

Join us tomorrow from 2pm when we'll be playing right down to the final table.
