2012-13 WSOP Circuit Foxwoods Day 1: Aryeh Cohen Leads as 196 of 578 Advance
It was a long day at Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut on Saturday as both Day 1a and 1b completed twelve 40-minute levels of play in the latest 2012-13 World Series of Poker Circuit $1,675 Main Event. It marked the first time the WSOP Circuit had visited the colossal property, so it was no surprise that players turned out in full force.
A hefty 350 players tried their luck on Day 1a, which began at 11 a.m. ET, but only 123 of them would advance. Leading the pack with 143,100 in chips was Eric Rando of East Providence, Rhode Island. Rando's big hand was missed, but according to Andy Frankenberger, he got his chips when his {K-}{Q-} overcame {A-}{K-} and {A-}{Q-} in a three-way all-in situation. On Day 1b, which allowed for re-entries, 228 runners took to the felt, of which 73 advanced. Finishing with the chip lead from that flight, and the overall top spot, was Aryeh Cohen, who bagged up 180,000.
