The clock has been paused with ten minutes remaining in the level and the dealers have been instructed to deal three more hands at each table before we call it a night.

The tournament clock says that 64 players remain, though we'll have the official number from Harrahs in a few hours.

The day saw a plethora of big names hit the rail today, including the likes of Omaha specialists Robert Williamson III, David Benyamine, Phil Galfond and Lee Watkinson.

Some of the names to keep an eye on tomorrow afternoon include Sorel Mizzi, Ralph Perry, Cliff Josephy and Sandra Naujoks. The overnight chip leader appears to be WSOP bracelet winner Jesper Hougaard who bagged up 208,500 in chips. Hougaard is followed closely behind by Rifat Palevic, who'll restart Day 2 with 207,400 in chips.

Tune in to PokerNews tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. local time for our continued coverage of Event 35. Until then, from the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV... good night and good luck!
