A total of 572 runners came out for Event No. 50, the $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout. They were arranged around 64 tables, from which emerged 64 winners all of whom are guaranteed at least $4,350 for this event. "Crazy Mike" Thorpe was the first to win his table. Among those following him into Round 2 were Jean-Robert Bellande, Trai Dang, Greg "FBT" Mueller, David Plastik, Dan Heimiller, David Williams, Juha Helppi, Tom Schneider, and Brock Parker.

Finally, about 3:40 a.m. local time, Mario Locicero won the night's final table, and Saturday's eight eight-handed tables were set. The winners of tomorrow's tables will reconvene on Sunday for an eight-handed final table, with the winner earning $194,854 and a WSOP gold bracelet for winning three tables in three days.
