Busquet Doesn't Quit
Olivier Busquet raised preflop to around 1,500 only to have an opponent move all in for 8,475. Busquet, who has a large chip stack, thought about it for a few moments before making the call.
Busquet turned over 
and was in big trouble against the 
of his opponent. That all changed when the flop came 
, putting Busquet firmly in the lead. The 
on the turn sealed the deal and the 
was put out as a formality. Busquet eliminated his opponent and added an extra 9,000 to his stack.

Action Slowing
Action seems to be slowing as the night gets closer to the cutoff mark. It seems a lot of players are content to sit tight and make it through to Day 2.
Day 1b Big Stacks
Baldwin Out
We didn't catch the hand but Eric Baldwin has been eliminated here late in the day.
One More Hand
The tournament staff just announced that the players will play one more hand and then be done for the night. They will be given new seating assignments for their return tomorrow, at which point they will combine with the remnants of Day 1A.
End of Day Big Stacks
