Day 1A Players Remaining:  56 of 555

After players returned from their last break of the day, the field quickly hit 57 players to put them on the bubble. Tournament staff paused the clock and they would take two minutes off for each hand dealt until one player was eliminated.

It took five hands before we saw any action and it went in a hurry. Marc Brooks had a player all in and at risk for 84,000 but he needed help. The at-risk player was in good shape for a double up holding versus the of Brooks. Right up until the flop.

Brooks paired his queen, his opponent had a gutshot, but Brooks had one of his jacks. The board finished with the turn and river to send the field into the money.
