One and Done

Day 1 of Event #23 is in the books after 384 runners turned up for the $2,500 Limit Hold'em event. After eight surprisingly entertaining levels of poker, we're left with somewhere around 100 of them at night's end.
That's pretty good work for a limit event, and the list of those eliminated reads like a who's-who of the poker world. Through the course of the day, we said goodbye to Vanessa Selbst, Phil Hellmuth (very quickly), Tom Schneider, Carlos Mortensen, Eli Elezra, Marcel Luske, Barry Greenstein, Chris Ferguson, David Sklansky, and Howard Lederer, among more than 200 others.
That leaves us with a handful of relative unknowns atop our leader board heading into tomorrow's moving day. We'll have to wait for the full official chip counts, but we've got David Webb, Richard Li, and Zach [Removed:115] all up around the 75,000-chip mark. Dave Baker (not to be confused with David "bakes" Baker who won a bracelet tonight) is in the mix as well, and so are the familiar faces of Justin Bonomo, JJ Liu and a few others.
That's about all we have for you for today. We'll be right back here inside the Amazon Room for Round 2 tomorrow, and we hope you'll join us here at 3:00 p.m. local time to pick up the story. Until then, goodnight and rest well!
