Among the day’s casualties were WSOP Main Event Winners Greg “Fossilman” Raymer (2004) and Chris Moneymaker (2003). 2007 APPT Macau High Roller’s Event champion Eric Assadourian also found himself a victim of Day 1. Davoud Khajeh tops the list of the select few who survived the day, as he will return on Saturday with a whopping 297,600 in chips. Fellow Australian players Michael Zowie, Trudie Sultana and Grant Levy will also return on Saturday, all with formidable chip stacks.
