Jon Christensen - Day 1 Chip Leader
Jon Christensen - Day 1 Chip Leader
Day 1 of the 2009 WSOP's final $1,500 No-Limit Hold 'em event is history.

2,818 players scattered themselves around the Amazon, Brasilia and Miranda rooms this afternoon in pursuit of nearly $675,000 in first-place prize money, a gold bracelet, and a spot in WSOP history. Only 384 of them will return at 2PM to continue their quests.

Leading the pack on our return tomorrow will be Jon Christensen with 159,800. Zsombor Gall and Henry Meratan will be chasing close behind. Also lurking are a few well known players like Carlos Mortensen, Theo Tran, and Hevad Khan.

The action picks up at 2PM, so be sure to join us when we shuffle up and deal again.
