The Live! Summer Series Of Poker attracted a total of 158 entries for Day 1A of it's opening event. While many familiar faces made their way into the tournament area, only 25 players were still around when it was time to bag for the night. The $1,000 bonus for the chip leader at the end of the night seemed all but locked up with two levels to go, but nobody knew how close things actually were. David Vu (Wake Forest, NC) would seal a total of 248,500 for the bonus, with Cynthia Albert (Germantown, MD) only a few thousand short of besting that number (243,800).
Day 1B offers another opportunity for players to set themselves up for a deep run, with the $1,000 bonus up for grabs for the end of day chip leader. The action will be the same as yesterday, with players sitting down to 15,000 starting stacks, (30) minute levels, and play halting at the conclusion of Level 16. Live coverage of this second starting flight will commence the moment cards are in the air (12:15pm), and will give an in depth look throughout the day until the final bag is sealed.
