The official number of players for Day 1A came in at 161, making the field a little smaller than the organizers had hoped for but not too far out of line for the expected total field of around 400. Vivek “psyduck” Rajkumar is one of the recent eliminations, falling to Alvin “alsmooth” Zeidenfeld. Al had pocket aces with the A and Vivek flopped a flush draw with the KQ. Zeidenfeld’s aces held up to send Vivek to the rail halfway through day 1A.

After adding Vivek’s chips to his stack, Alvin is now up to 75k and among the leaders. Here are some other counts from around the room:

Alvin “alsmooth” Zeidenfeld - 75k
Jason “JCarver” Somerville - 60k (right)
Marco “CrazyMarco” Johnson - 52k
Louis “Mr Beeks” Werman - 46k
