2,971 players kicked off the event and, when play ended for the night, just 337 remain. It will be a short trip to the money when the players return at 2PM tomorrow, as 297 will get paid.
A lot of big names didn't make it to the money, with players such as Chris Ferguson, John Juanda, Justin Bonomo, Freddy Deeb, Vanessa Rousso, and David Singer all busting fairly early in the day. Not all of the name players are gone though, with folks like Brandon Cantu, Shaun Deeb, Alex Jacob, Lee Childs, Jim Meehan, and Grant Hinkle all returning for Day 2.
