After three Day 1s, we are now ready for Day 2 here at the PAGCOR Chairman's Cup!
222 players participated in today's Day 1C and after seven levels of play, only 108 remain in contention for the championship.
The day was stocked with pros and international pros such as David 'Chino' Rheem, Nam Le, Tommy Le, Raymond Wu, Tae Jun Noh, Roger Spets, Winfred Yu, Tom Hall, and more.
At the end of the day, it would be Vic Chang emerging with the biggest stack in play, holding 174,400.
Despite having such a big stack compared to the other Day 1C participants, he'll still need to accumulate more to catch up to Day 1A chip leader Mike Takayama, who has almost 200,000.
Start time for Day 2 is at 12:30 pm. See you all tomorrow!
Play has now ended for the day as the chips have all been bagged up.
