End of Day One

Despite the repuatation of limit, the action was fast and furious throughout the day with the initial field of 625 sliced down to 189 (according the screen) within eight levels.

At first, it appeared as though Phil Ivey was going to plow his way through the field like a maniacal farmer, but as the day drew to a close, his chip stack headed south whilst others began to take control.

David Williams, in particular, was continually adding chips to his stack, ultimately finishing the day on 41,800, but on second glance it would appear as though Lowball finalist Jameson Painter has earned the title of end-of-day chip leader with 47,600.

With the likes of John Juanda, Sorel Mizzi, Chad Brown, Matt Hawrilenko and Jeff Shulman still alive, Day Two should be an action-packed feast of poker fun and frolics. Join us tomorrow, same bat channel, different bat time: 3:00 p.m. local time.
