Vanessa Rousso is one of the chip leaders as we're deep into Day 1 play at NAPT Mohegan Sun.

The event is raining with Team PokerStars Pros (not a shocker since PokerStars run the tour) ... Victor Ramdin, Jason Mercier, Pat Pezzin and Eugene Katchalov join Russo as PokerStars Pros with good chip stacks.

We should be in for a great couple of days as the event is filled with well-known pros including defending champion Vanessa Selbst who was down early but has picked up chips since ...

It's still very early, but, things are looking good at NAPT Mohegan Sun where 387 players put up the 5K buy-in to enter the event.
