The final hands are in the book and so is Day 1A of Event 1 of the Live! Summer Series Of Poker. David Vu (Wake Forest, NC) would grab the chip lead midway through the day, and he would never look back. Vu would bag 248,500 to end the night, and he is the first of three players to win the Day 1 "chip lead bonus" of $1,000. Cynthia Albert did her absolute best to try and better that number, but fell short by just 5,000!!! Albert's count of 243,500 is nothing to bat an eye at, coming back to Day 2 with over 60 big blinds.
The remaining players will be back for Day 2 on Thursday, but today's final chip counts will be posted once they are verified by the tournament floor. Poker is very similar to baseball in the sense that it's most of the time a very quick turnaround. The cards will be back in the air at 12:15pm tomorrow afternoon, as Day 1B will bring news faces...and a new chip lead bonus up for grabs.
