Day 1G brought out a huge field of 683 entries that battled it out for 17 levels of play. Following less hand-for-hand play than anyone in the field expected, 103 players advanced from this flight.

The fast and loose approach seen throughout the flight was maintained all the way to end. The players had just returned from their fourth break of the day when 107 players remained. From there, it did not take long to send the field into Day 2 and the money. The bubble hand was a heads-up pot where all the chips went in on the flop. Following the conclusion of play on the other tables, the hands were revealed to show top pair against second pair on a relatively dry board. But the run out turned the tables and brought about the final elimination of the day.

Three players – Steve Mansour, Joshua Marr and Tibor Bizony – bagged more than 300,000 in chips to put themselves in a great position to start tomorrow’s Day 2. The complete list of Day 1 results can be found here. The action will resume for Day 2 tomorrow at noon.
