That's a Wrap

Day 1A of @HPTPoker @Gates_Poker $1650 Main Event has come to a close. We'll have full chipcounts in about 30 minutes for those players advancing to Sunday's Noon-start Day 2.

Chase Bianchi (above) is among the chipleaders.

Day 1B launches at noon Friday - 30,000 starting stacks and a full 15 40-minute levels of play is scheduled. The hour-long dinner break is at about 6:30pm - the end of Level 9, and late registration is open until cards go back in the air after dinner break ends, about 7:30pm.
