End of Day 1
Last year in this event, 293 players entered and rebought 880 times. This year saw a few more entrants -- 320 -- but a whopping increase in rebuys to 1,350, building the total prize pool to $2,407,125.
Several big names showed up for this one, though most fell by the wayside once the rebuy period concluded. Ted Forrest, Layne Flack, Erik Seidel, J.C. Tran, Scott Clements, and Rene Mouritsen will all be back tomorrow, as will Clonie Gowen, the last woman left in the event.
With 48 players returning, we've almost reached the money bubble, as the top 36 players will cash. $577,725 awaits the winner.
Come back tomorrow at 2pm Vegas time when we will begin playing down to the final nine.
