One Day in the Books
In between, 96 players sat down and played poker. Some (Tom Dwan, Phil Hellmuth) sat down later than others and left sooner; others quietly chipped up without making much of an impact on the tournament.
At the end of the day, it was Roland de Wolfe's name atop the leaderboard with approximately 180,000 chips. He's followed by John Juanda and Vince Musso. A total of 60 players -- about 60% of the field -- made it through to Day 2.
Those 60 players will go home for the night to get some sleep. They'll reassemble tomorrow for Day 2 at 2pm local time in the Orange section of the Amazon Room. See you then!
