Event #2: $50,000 Poker Player's Championship Day 1 | 2010 World Series of Poker

That's the end of Day 1 of the 2010 World Series of Poker Event #2 - $50,000 Poker Player's Championship. It was a day of late-registration confusion, a day of marked cards, a day of few eliminations and a day of odd blind levels.

116 players each came up with $50,000 to play this event. Among the busted today: Dan Shak, Tom Dwan, Andrew Brown, Marc Karam, Greg Mueller and Brian Townsend. Shak was the first one to go, when his set of nines ran into the nut straight in PLO. Dwan, the internet sensation, soon followed suit.

The overnight chip leader appears to be Erik Sagstrom, who bagged 329,100 chips. He's followed by David Oppenheim's 313,800. It appeared that no other player accumulated a stack bigger than 300,000 by the end of the night.

Play resumes tomorrow at 3pm local time. PokerNews will be there.

Until then, you can find us at the bar.
