Many notable names left the game early, including Barry Greenstein, Gavin Griffin, Katja Thater, Greg Raymer, Erick Lindgren, and Daniel Negreanu. Not all of the big names fell short though, with folks like John Juanda, J.C. Tran, Farzad Bonyadi, Joe Beevers and Phil Ivey - fresh off of collecting his seventh career bracelet - advancing to Day 2.
