Day 1 Closes with Alex Bolotin Atop the Counts
Day 1 of Event 48 $1,500 No Limit Hold’em comes to a close after ten levels of play with an enormous starting field of 2,713. Only 390 of those survived the day and will return for Day 2. Alex Bolotin is your chipleader with 129,800, followed closely by Sebastian Winkler and Jonathan Little.
Moving to Day 2 includes Yevgeniy Timoshenko, Sorel Mizzi, Erik Cajelais, David Singer, Chino Rheem, JJ Liu, Josh Tieman, Matt Stout, Soi Nguyen, Leo Wolpert, Lauren Kling and Garry Gates.
The large starting field claimed a slew of notable players as victims that didn’t survive the day, including; Tom Dwan, Carlos Mortensen, Phil Hellmuth, Chris Moneymaker, David Bakes Baker, Adam Junglen, Rob Mizrachi, Justin Bonomo, Neil Channing, Jean-Robert Bellande, Isaac Haxton and Liv Boeree.
Day 1 was just one of three tournaments that Dwan played today. He played the opening levels before his Day 2 restart in the $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud HiLo event. He came back to play his stack again during one the breaks in the other tournament. After he busted from the HiLo mix he focused on Day 1 in this event for a little while. He eventually busted and then jumped over to the $2,500 Deuce to Seven Triple Draw event.
Day 2 will kick off at 2:30 p.m. PST in the Purple section of the Amazon Room. Be sure to follow all of the WSOP action live on Pokernews.com
