Defending Champion Matt Brady began the day with about 18,000 in chips before running it up to 40,000. After a few backwards pots, though, Brady found himself worked all the way down to 15,000. The last check provided the good news that the champ is back up to 40,000 once again.
We've lost more than 100 players so far today. That leaves 150 remaining at this moment.
This just in: Phil Hellmuth is grumpy. There haven't been any raging tirades or anything, but Hellmuth has been sitting dead silent with his head resting on his fists all day, scowl and all.
Many of the players are joining the side event as they lose their Main Event stacks. That $2,100 NLHE event has drawn more than 130 runners, and registration is open for another hour to accommodate any others who fail to survive this level.
Matt Vengrin has spent more time wandering around the room than actually sitting in his chair, yet he somehow has 100,000 chips. He claims to be "stretching" every time.
Nine women remain in the field, including Team UB Pro Tiffany Michelle.
From what we see, we have four WSOP bracelet winners still afloat: Phil Hellmuth (11), Brock Parker (2), Robert Mizrachi (1), and Eric Baldwin (1). That's a total of 14 bracelets between them.
