Day one of the $1,500 pot-limit hold'em event draws to a close with 36 players remaining in the field. These players will return tomorrow to play all the way down to a bracelet-winning champion. Final eliminations and chip counts will follow soon. Play will resume at 2:00 pm tomorrow.

Here are the final five players who were eliminated in the money on day one:

Pierre Nasr and Nathan Mullen just ended one of the most electrifying showdowns this evening, with the result in a new chip leader. With the board showing 9-6-4-6-8 Mullen lead out and bet about 21,000 and Nasr moved all-in by betting the pot. "You have two nines?" Mullen asked, no response. "I have to call, I have two eights." Immediately, Nasr flips his two nines, Mullen is in disbelief and heading to the rail while Nasr collects more than $170,000 in chips.

Nick Frangos makes a pot-sized raise from the button, and the big blind pushes all in. Frangos calls with pocket fives, but his opponent has him dominated with pocket eights. The board offers no help, and Frangos drops down to about $30,000 in chips.

It is always helpful to flop a set of anything, it is even more helpful when your opponent has American Airlines. This is exactly what happened when Gavin Smith eliminated Del Tolito. Smith raised two off the button to $11,000 and Tolito quickly called. The flop came 7-7-4, both players checked. The turn reveals a jack, Tolito checked under the gun, Smith bet $10,000, Tolito raised all-in, Smith called and turned over 7-9 of spades to Tolito's aces. The river drowned Tolito with a 3. Gavin Smith slowly gathers more chips to that ever growing stack.

Allen Kessler bets $7,000, Tom Hunt raises, and Kessler reraises all in. Hunt calls with A-Q, but he's dominated by Kessler's A-K. The flop brings three clubs, and Hunt is the only one with a club between them, giving him a flush draw. It doesn't take long, as the fourth club hits on the turn, giving Hunt a flush and leaving Kessler drawing dead. Allen Kessler is eliminated in 42nd place, earning $4,285.
