Day 1 of Event 29: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em is in the books after a field of 1,086 dwindled down to 239 players heading into Day 2 Friday at noon.

The chip leader at the end of the night was Spain's Pablo Fernandez with 193,600. He peaked at over 205,000 but still held on to lead the field at the end of the night. Michael Wang managed to work his stack up to 170,700 to come second in the counts, with Benjamin Francisco rounding out the top three with 159,500.

Some of the notables that made it through to Day 2 include Jonathan Abdellatif (149,200), Matt Salsberg (147,300), Daniel Reijmer (122,400), Seth Berger (116,700), Linglin Zeng (91,400), Federico Butteroni (85,000), Jason Wheeler (78,900), Kristen Bicknell (73,700),Jason Koon (63,500), Chad Holloway (63,400), Manig Loeser (40,700), and Natasha Mercier (27,200).

The day began with 299 entries but steadily built up to 1,086, up from 1,045 entries last year. The prize pool combined for a total of $2,443,500, paying out 163 spots. With just 239 players remaining, the money bubble should burst within the first few levels tomorrow.

First place will be paying out a coveted gold WSOP bracelet and a hefty prize worth $456,822. All players in the money will be guaranteed a min-cash worth $3,758. All prizes can be viewed under the Payouts tab above, and here is a look at the top payouts for this event:
