2,304

Looks like 2,304 is the official number of entrants for today's tournament. Not record-setting, but a massive field nonetheless.

Shawn Buchanan Takes a Hit

Action folded around to Shawn Buchanan on the button and he raised to 700. Both blinds called and the three players took a flop of {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {9-Spades}. The small blind checked and the big blind pushed all in for 5,125. Buchanan made the call and the small blind passed. The players showed:

Buchanan: {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}

Buchanan needed runner runner that never came. After the hand, he slips to approximately 4,000 chips.

David Chicotsky Doubles Up

A middle position player raised to 800 and the cutoff reraised to 2,500. David Chicotsky made it 6,500 from the button. The initial raiser passed but the cutoff seat moved all in. Chicotosky called all in for his whole stack of roughly 9,500 total. The players showed:

Chicotsky: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}

Chicotsky won the hand when the board ran out {K-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {9-Spades} {2-Spades} . He doubled up to approximately 23,000 chips.
