A total of 99 players entered day 1 of the Card Player Poker Tour Venetian main event, part of the DeepStack Extravaganza Poker Series.

While those numbers currently fall shy of the $500,000 guarantee, there is still plenty of time for players to buy-in to this $3,500 event, with registration open until the end of level 13 (about 5:15 pm Sunday afternoon) on day 2. Anyone entering day 2 when play begins at 1 p.m. will start with 40,000 in chips, which is worth 40 big blinds.

Leading the 52 players who bagged up a stack on day 1 was New York’s Michael Rossitto, who finished with 216,700. Rossitto is coming off a preliminary event win at the recent Five Diamond World Poker Classic for $36,172, with his largest score coming at the 2018 Borgata Summer Poker Open for $143,730.

He leads 2017 WPT Hard Rock Poker Showdown champion Tony Sinishtaj, who ended the day in second position with 185,200. The rest of the top five is rounded out by Leo Song-Carrillo (177,900), Michael Cervantes (171,900), and Valentyn Shabelnyk (158,900).

Other notables who advanced included Anuj Agarwal, Steve Sung, Tony Dunst, Jordan Cristos, Faraz Jaka, Kahle Burns, Ben Palmer, Martin Zamani, and last year’s runner-up finisher, Joe Kuether.
