Darryll Fish Leads a Host of Stars After Day 1 of the $600 NLH/PLO Mixed
If you look at the Top 10 chip counts from Day 1 of Event #28: $600 Deepstack Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha, you would be forgiven for thinking that we had entered the buy-in wrong, and it should read $6,000 instead. We can tell you that the buy-in was $600, yet the Day 1 Top 10 includes two Poker Hall of Fame members and four $25K Fantasy Draft selections, who own 21 bracelets between them!
Some 3,332 players bought in during late registration, but only 132 made it through 22 action-packed levels.
Darryll Fish (4,020,000) bagged the largest stack by far, according to the WSOP LIVE app, meaning he leads quite literally an all-star cast going into Day 2.
Brian Rast (2,535,000) already has seven bracelets and is a Poker Hall of Fame inductee. The exact same can be said for fourth-placed Daniel Negreanu (2,320,000), too.
Alex Foxen (2,185,000), Robert Nehorayan (1,985,000), Will Berry (1,870,000), and Jason Daly (1,715,000) also shone on Day 1, and finished the night inside the top 10 chip counts.
