And just like that, Day One is done

With the clock less than ten minutes into our final hour of scheduled play, a flurry of activity across the tables saw us reach the magic 36 players to progress to Day Two a little early.

Among the players to fall in a dramatic few minutes was Hungarian Tibor Boros (pictured), who confessed he would rather have been out than continue his grind with just a short stack at his disposal.

"I've been short for most of the day now so it's getting a little tiring," he admitted at the final break, "I've been pushing all in a lot but nobody seems willing to call.

"I would happily take a coin flip or 60-40, even if I'm a dog, to double up or get knocked out now, because I can't get to the money without winning a big pot now."

When Boros got his wish, he might have hoped for a less cruel ending, as his A7 vs KJ was crushed by a river cowboy to send him out in 37th place.

His was the final blow of a quick succession to the short stacks, leaving us 36 to return to the battle tomorrow.

Full chip count to follow tomorrow! Night folks.
