Today we were fortunate enough to see 295 of the world's best players hit the felt for a fast-paced day of PLO action. For the first time at this year's WSOP the biggest names in the game were all on show. Ivey, Negreanu, Farha, Antonius, Hansen and Dwan were just some of the names that came and went as around 117 players made it through the day.
They will return tomorrow at 2pm and attempt to make it to the final table on Monday. At short glance it appears to us that Noah Schwartz is the chip leader with 292,600. Ilari Sahamies, Josh Arieh, Steve Zolotow and David Williams all lurk close behind.
We'll look forward to your company again tomorrow as we play down to our final table! See you then!
