Note on Day 1 Chip Counts
This year PokerNews is getting a list of all registered players on Day 1's directly from the official Harrah's feed. The good news? We will have a full list of all the players that entered the event just a few hours after it starts. The bad news? It's just impossible for PokerNews to update a large percentage of the Day 1 starters based on the sheer sizes of the fields. We'll be doing our best and updating the page with all the counts we have, meaning the top 10 chip counts to the right of your page should always be fairly accurate.
When we import the chip counts directly from Harrah's at the end of the day, it will automatically bust players who have no chips and we'll have a much firmer grasp on updating all the counts on Day 2's.
We realize this may cause some confusion, but it was important for both PokerNews and Harrah's to have full player lists in the system on Day 1.
