Day 1 Concludes
One hundred sixty-seven players began play some twelve hours ago, and that number has been reduced by more than 100 as things draw to a close for the night. Billy Kopp will take the overnight chip lead, bagging up more than 260,000 chips! A few players are still hot on his heels though, including the rocket hot Dwyte Pilgrim. Pilgrim was crippled late in the last level, but he managed to go on an absolute tear to take the chip lead at his table and put himself in the Top 5 overall by the time the clock hit zero.
Day 2 will get going at noon again tomorrow. Until then, goodnight from New Orleans!
