163 Players Return at 1 P.M.
1 p.m. will be the time we restart event 18, the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em. Yesterday we saw a staggering 2,071 players sign up of which only 163 remain after eleven levels of playing.
Big names like Phil Hellmuth, Antonio Esfandiari and Jason Mercier gave it a shot but all fell short of cashing. There's no shortage of big names still left in the field though with Joe Ebanks (14,000 chips), Taylor Paur (30,000), David "ODB" Baker (37,100), Dominik Nitsche (37,100), Men Nguyen (70,600) and Shannon Shorr (69,800) still in the tournament. Also still in is non other than Phil Ivey who's making his first deep run for the series (71,100) and is guaranteed his first cash today.
Leading the pack is Chad Eveslage who bagged 134,000 last night. Eveslage is a regular on the WSOP Circuit where he not only made two final tables but he also has one win to his name. This marks Eveslage's first WSOP cash and it can only become even better as he has the most chips on a day we'll be playing down to a final table. Other big stacks include Dan Martin (124,800), Niccolo Caramatti (120,000), James Cho (115,400), Charles Clark (114,000), Jason Everett (102,000).
Follow the action today as we'll surely see some interesting stories develop. At 1 p.m. we start with level 12 (600/1,200 with a 200 ante) and PokerNews.com will be your source for updates covering the event again from the first flop till the last river.
