WSOP Day 1A: "Official" Results, News & Discussion

[Dynasty]

Yikes! The board is a mess today with well over a dozen new posts for the main event. I thought somebody would have already started one of these when the main event started.

So, please post news, results, and commentary in one thread.

When Day 1B starts tomorrow, I hope somebody will start a thread for that and I'll sticky that one after I wake up (please start it when WSOP play begins).

New threads which are nothing more than "Player X has been eliminated or has doubled-up" will get deleted in order to keep the board manageable.

The Card Player Live Updates Log is a good source for updates.

Gutshot.com has regular updates






For you three Scott Fischman fans

Scott Fischman is still standing with $6,600 in chips. He just told Card Player he bets he is "the only guy to double up to $2,400 in the first level." Scott says he has "been on the felt a few times today and has doubled up about four times." He says he is happy to be alive.

Johnny Grooms informed me that about 1,800+ started today. The unnofficial number of entries is 5,661, but he says a few of those will be duplicate entries (will call then paying in on their own, etc.). He says the number should be closer to 5,640. We will actually play down to around 66 tables today, not the previously mentioned 7 levels. Grooms wants to be able to have a room that isn't overfilled on Sunday, hence the table # requirement to be left today.

I always knew that Elmo was a degenerate. But I had no idea that he liked to gamble.

I would have figured Cookie Monster would be there before Elmo.
