It took just over seven hours of play to whittle our first field of 95 players down to the final 11, and leading the way is Jon Michael Gisler (pictured above) with 547,000 in chips. Michael Casella (pictured below) also bagged a healthy stack of 470,000, as Casella is looking for his second title of the series, having already won Event #2 earlier in the series for $8,100.

Be sure to come back throughout the week to get the updated Day 2 return list for this event, as we move towards Day 2 on Sunday.
