...And That's a Wrap After eight and a half levels of play, we're ready to conclude for the evening as our survivors from each Day 1 get ready to meet tomorrow when they will get into the money and work their way to a final table.

Today's field was predictably smaller than yesterday's. Of the 1,119 who signed up for play today, 165 will play tomorrow. They'll be joining 290 additional players for a field of about 455.

Those who didn't make the cut today include Shannon Elizabeth, James Akenhead, David Bach, Victor Ramdin, Men Nguyen, Chino Rheem,David Singer, Ylon Schwartz, George Lind, Gavin Griffin, Michael Mizrachi, Jimmy Fricke, Antonio Esfandiari and Allek Kessler.

That's not to downplay those who have had successful days. Players bagging their chips for the night include chip-leader Ryan D'Angelo (67,875), Svetlana Gromenkova (34,925), Eric "gpokerg" Wasserson (30,000), Antoine Saout (27,000), Ari Engel (24,900).

The money bubble will pop when we reach 324 players, and it shouldn't take too much time to do so. After that, it'll be a drive to the final table and a bracelet worth a whopping $481,760.

Make sure you join us tomorrow at 2:30pm local time as we bring you all the action fit to print for the final three days of Event #36.

Day 2 Is Done - Juanda Leads; Ivey Lurking That brings an end to a long ten levels of play here today in Event #37 of the 2010 World Series of Poker. Our 219 hopefuls have been reduced to just 25 of the finest mixed game players in the world, who will return tomorrow to decide who will be victorious and capture that elusive gold WSOP bracelet.

It will be an exciting day as we have several big name pros still in this field, headlined of course by the immortal Phil Ivey who will have the attention of the world as he goes for bracelet number eight. He's been in cruise control for most of this event so far, and will be looking to step it up a gear tomorrow.

He will be joined by the likes of David Benyamine, Bill Chen, David Singer, Scott Seiver, Jeff Lisandro, Chad Brown and Dan Heimiller, just to name a few. However they will all be chasing John Juanda who continues his fantastic form as he surged late to grab the chip lead with 393,000 chips, narrowly ahead of David Baker and Ryan Hughes. We'll have the full list of chip counts updated in the Chip Counts page you very shortly.

The players will return to the Amazon Room at 3pm tomorrow and play it out until a champion is crowned. Hold on to your hats folks, it could be a long and bumpy ride! We look forward to your company then!

Event #38: Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship $10,000
Book It: Day 1 is in the Bag The chip bags are out on the tables, and that must mean that, like the stacks of the survivors, Day 1 is likewise in the bag.

A field of 268 turned up for today's Championship Event, just about the same size as last year's field. Last year's champion, John Kabbaj was in the house to try and defend his bracelet, seated with the 2008 champion Nenad Medic. Neither of the previous two champs would survive this opening day, though, and their names are just two on a laundry list of notable eliminations.

Tom Dwan came and went quickly, as did Eric Froehlich, Vanessa Rousso, Chino Rheem, Freddy Deeb, Erick Lindgren, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, and too many other notable notables to name here.

Steve O'Dwyer managed to build himself a big stack early on before a couple cases of bad timing put him out the door midway through the day. The last beneficiary of O'Dwyer's downward trend was Tom Marchese when his pocket kings held against O'Dwyer's ace-king to steal all of his chips and secure the overall lead in the room. Marchese with chips is a dangerous thing, and he oppressed his table mates for the remaining few levels of the night. He ended the day with a commanding lead over the field, and Marchese's finishing count of 334,600 should be safe for a while tomorrow too.

We've got just less than half of our starting field still alive at the end of eight levels, and they'll be back here tomorrow to play down toward the final table. Marchese will be here defending his chip fortress, and faces the likes of Sirous Jamshidi, Dan Smith, Dani Stern, John Duthie, and Martin Kabrhel will be up there challenging for the top spot when the cards go flying. We've still got a stacked field left, and tomorrow figures to be an exciting day of cards.

Day 2 gets rolling at 3:00 p.m. Monday afternoon, and we'll be right back here to catch every pot and re-pot on the way to the final table. We hope you'll join us back here in about twelve hours, but until then, we wish you a very good night from the Rio.

Über World Series of Poker (WSOP):
