Most players are returning and some are even entering for their first time for Event #23: THE MARATHON - $2,620 No-Limit Hold'em. The action is set to kick off at 12:00 p.m local time at the Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino.
There were a total of 1,646 entries who played a hectic Day 1 that saw the number of players remaining dwindle down to 806 by the end of the day. Registration remains open until the start of Day 2, at which point tournament officials will announce the official number of entries as well as the prize pool information.
The Day 1 chip leader is Igor Yaroshevskyy (292,600), but there are other big stacks in the running, including Rigoberto Rodriguez (280,600), Maurice Hawkins (263,000) and Bill Germanis (214,300). When the action gets underway on Day 2, the blinds will be at 400/800 with a 100 ante and will increase at 100-minute intervals. There will be a 15-minute break at the end of every level along with a 60-minute break after the 4th level.
On our chip count page, you'll find all of the chip counts of players starting Day 2, excluding the players that bought in for Day 2. There's no way of keeping track of who have busted today, so this page will be outdated till the end of day counts are in.
