Day 1 Concludes
The day began with three manic hours of loose play as players rebought time and time again, building the overall prize pool to over $3 million.
A lot of the excitement of the first couple of hours revolved around that eye-popping Table No. 15, which at one time saw Erick Lindgren, Phil Hellmuth, Erik Seidel, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, and Robert Williamson III all sitting around it. A stacked table in more than one sense -- over 30 WSOP bracelets between 'em, and with all of those rebuys a ton of chips in play.
Once the rebuy period ended, play became relatively less wild, although we still saw several huge pots, some multi-way, as is characteristic of Omaha.
Come back tomorrow at 3pm Vegas time to see who from this loaded field survives to Monday's final table.
