Day 1 Wraps Up
The list of players who didn't survive the day is long and full of big names like Robert Williamson III, Greg Raymer, Mike Sexton, Todd Brunson, Erick Lindgren, Marcel Luske, Bill Chen, Barry Greenstein, and on and on it goes.
On the flip side of the coin, Tuan Le held the chip lead for much of the day, and he's finished up near the top as play concludes. From the counts, it appears that he has just been edged out by Adam Ewenstein who sealed his 71,800 chips into the plastic bag for the overnight soak. Michael Peltekci, Blair Rodman and Ryan Fisher are also up there near the top of the pack.
The remaining players will be back at 2:00pm to pick up with Day 2. We'll be there too, and we hope you'll join us then. Until tomorrow, goodnight from the Rio!
