Welcome back to the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino! Stay tuned as our remaining casino employees prepare their trek to World Series of Poker glory and the coveted gold bracelet that will go to our eventual champion.
Yesterday, 732 hopefuls registered for Event 1, but only 81 would see their efforts go rewarded with a min-cash of $820. The eliminations came fast and furious, with players reaching the money bubble by the 9th level. It would be Joshua Bailey who claimed the unfortunate title of "bubble boy," as he busted out in 82nd place. Others who were unable to make the money include last year's champion Sean Drake and tournament director Matt Savage. Some notable survivors into day 2 include WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart (69.900) and our current chip leaders Chiab Saechao (150,600) and James Routos (146,900).
Unlike last year, this year's Casino Employee's Event will be completed in two days as opposed to three. Play is set to resume at 1pm (PST).
Stay with us here at PokerNews.com for live updates as we crown our first champion of the 43rd annual World Series of Poker!
