These players will join the survivors of tomorrow's Day 1B tournament on Monday for Day 2 of the third $1,000 no limit event of the series.

The day started with a number of notables including Kathy Liebert, Hevad Khan, Shannon Elizabeth, Eric Baldwin, Jeff Madsen, Dennis Phillips and Antonio Esfandiairi, just to name a few. Unfortunately, none of these players managed to make it to the end of Day 1A. However, a number of pros navigated the field and will return for Day 2. They include Arnaud Mattern, Veronica Dabul, Alex Jacob, and the author of Positively Fifth Street, Jim McManus.


Sadly the live updates of this are pretty slim, no Brits news but lets hope there are plenty left in. Or maybe they were watching the football and are playing 1b

Event 22

The 2010 World Series of Poker Ladies Championship has come to an end with Vanessa Hellebuyck emerging victorious over a field of 1,054. What started three days ago among controversy between the genders has come to a joyous end after an exciting final table.

La Sengphet, who was the chip leader during the early stages of the tournament, was eliminated in seventh place. Meanwhile, Timmi Derosa patiently made her way to the final three where she made a big all in that put Hellebuyck in the tank for several minutes. Derosa's tournament came to an end when Hellebuyck made the correct call and took down the massive pot.

Sidsel Boesen entered the final table as the chip leader but stumbled early. She was able to rebuild and managed to make it heads up against Hellebuyck, although at a 5-1 chip disadvantage.

It took only seven hands for Hellebuyck to eliminate Boesen when her pocket fives faded the ten and nine of diamonds. The Amazon Room echoed with the cheers of Hellebuyck's supporters as the final card came down.

Congratulations to Vanessa Hellebuyck, Event #22 Champion!

Event 24 $1,000 NLHE

With eight and a half levels in the books, Day 1b has come to a close.

Today the Pavilion Room welcomed 1,358 players to add to yesterday's field of 1,931 and we played all the way down to 222. Add yesterday's 290 survivors and we will return tomorrow for Day 2 with 512 players, just 70 spots away from the money.

We saw many players come and go today. Some went quick like Phil Ivey who shoved his very first hand with pocket kings only to run into an opponent's pocket aces. Others lasted the entire day only to bust in the final minutes like Paul Wasicka and Brandon Cantu. Still there were some who not only survived Day 1b, but steamrolled it acquiring heaps of chips.

David Wilkerson is one of those individuals who finished today as our unofficial chip leader of Day 1b with 66,400 chips. Following him were Chris Adams (56,325), Adam Reynolds (54,400) and Laura Cantero (52,850).

There are still many familiar faces in the field including Eric "EFro" Froehlich (47,325), Tom "durrrr" Dwan (37,525), Liv Boeree (22,400), Tony Dunst (36,250), Chad Batista (34,000) and Isaac Haxton (15,325).

Craig Marquis may still play the $2,500 six-max at noon tomorrow, but he did survive to tomorrow with 9,025 chips.

Event #24 will resume tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. PST where we are scheduled to play ten levels

Event #25: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better Championship

It's official, Day 2 has come and gone. When the day began, 145 players returned from the 212 that entered this $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better Championship. All were vying for the $488,237 first-place prize, but only 27 of them wound up leaving the building with their pockets more full than when they came in.

Barry Greenstein, Chad Brown, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Nick Schulman and Chris Ferguson and Carlos Mortensen were some of the big names that returned to the felt for play today, but none of them reached the money. All of them may have fallen short, but their pain wasn't as great as Dale Phillips, who finished as the bubble boy of the tournament after Jean-Robert Bellande did him in with jacks full.

Finishing in the money, but not finishing the day, were Dan Heimiller (27th), Pat Pezzin (26th), Huck Seed (25th) and Jeffrey Lisandro (24th). All earned a payday of $17,138 and got to go to sleep a little bit earlier than the rest of the crew tonight.

Moving on to Day 3 are plenty of big names and big players inlcuding Eric Baldwin, Chino Rheem, "Miami" John Cernuto and John D'Agostino. Michael Chow also still remains as he continues his quest for another Omaha Hi-Low bracelet. Chow won Event No. 4: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better at the beginning of the Series. This could be a start of something big for Chow if he can final table this event and ultimately win it. It'd be very reminiscent of Lisandro's three bracelets last year in Stud variants.

You can't forget about David "Bakes" Baker either. Baker final tabled the $50,000 Player's Championship and then won a bracelet in the $10,000 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship. He's having an amazing WSOP thus far and is alive again in this one moving to the final day.

Eugene Katchalov may be building a story of his own on top of everything that's going on as well. Katchalov was down to just one chip, one yellow T,1000 chip in the small blind when the blinds were 4,000-8,000. He's since stormed back and closed out the day with 463,000 chips. It'd be a remarkable story if he could come back from one chip to take home the title.

Your chip leader going into Day 3 will be Chow with 600,000 chips and he'll return to head the final pack of 23 later on today at 3:00 p.m. local time here in Las Vega
