Late registration will last another 30 minutes, until the end of Level 8. Some of poker's finest have arrived in the late stages of Day 1, including Daniel Negreanu, Mike "The Grinder " Mizrachi, and Mike Sexton.
A rowdy table that included Eli Elezra, Dan Heimiller and Mike "The Grinder" Mizrachi has just been broken up, but Elezra chipped up on the table's very last hand.

Heimiller led out on fourth street, getting raised by the third player. Elezra called the raise, as did Heimiller. The action checked through on fifth street.
Heimiller led out again on sixth street, with both players calling. Heimiller folded on seventh street, however, and Elezra called the third player's final bet and showed the eight-to-queen straight to take down a massive pot.
The players racked up before their chip counts could be calculated.
Players are on the final 15-minute break of Day 1; play will resume with Level 9.

Perry Friedman has been short stacked through much of the latter levels of Day 1, but he's up to 28000 after calling down on the final two streets and taking down a pot.

Friedman told his opponent he was "playing defense" with those final calls, and whatever Friedman was up it worked.

Chris "Jesus" Ferguson has chipped up to 24,000 after taking down a small pot with some scary cards showing on his board.
Chris Ferguson: /
Opponent: /
The opponent came along to fifth street with Ferguson as the aggressor, but shut it down when the 
hit for Ferguson. The six-time bracelet winner registered late in Day 1, but is looking like a good shot to make it to Day 2.
