That's a wrap from Day 1 of Event #37: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. We started the day with 478 players and after eight levels of play we reduced the field to approximately 219.

Early on the play was pretty slow, which is to be expected in the limit format, and we have a long road ahead to reach the final table tomorrow.

It was a stellar lineup with all the big names on show for this event, with the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey, Chad Brown, Marcel Luske, David Benyamine, Justin Smith, Chau Giang, Erik Seidel, Greg Mueller, Doyle Brunson, John Juanda, Pat Pezzin, Mike Matusow, Phil Hellmuth and defending champ Zac Fellows all surviving the day.

There was never a breakaway leader today, however Mark Johns, Phillip Wallace, Jordan Siegal and Darus Suharto appear to be bagging up the lion's share with close to 60,000. Of course we'll have the exact chip counts for the field later this evening.

At last count we had approximately 219 survivors who will come back tomorrow to the Amazon Room at 3pm to continue this horse race. We look forward to your company then!
