Players are now playing their last five hands before the bagging & tagging process begins.
Day 1 of WSOP Event #47 is in the books and what a day it turned out to be! From 450 of poker’s finest, we’re now down to 201 and from our counts, it appears that Abe Mosseri is the big man on campus with 64,200 in chips. Biting on his heels is Jonathan Spinks (43,600), Tom Whitehair (42,300) and Jim Ferrel (40,700).
Other big names to have survived the choppy seas include Tom Dwan, Al “Sugarbear” Barbieri, Dan Heimiller, Barry Greenstein, Barny Boatman, Victor Ramdin, Josh Arieh, Richard Ashby, David Chiu, Mike Sexton and Eric Baldwin.
However, for those who managed to survived, there were plenty more that didn’t make it, with David Steicke, Allen Bari, George Danzer, Jason Mercier, Cyndy Violette, Shawn Buchanan, John Juanda, Jon Turner and Daniel Negreanu just some of the names who are listed in today’s tournament obituaries.
It’s been an impressive turnout for this event, which is brand new to the WSOP for 2011. Generating a total prize pool of almost $1.024 million, the winner of this event will be walking away with $255,959 and of course, the coveted gold bracelet.
Still, we’ve got at least two days to go until we find out our winner, with Day 2 resuming tomorrow at 3pm PST (GMT -7) in the Amazon Room. PokerNews will be on deck once again to bring you all the live updates, so be sure to join us then. Thanks for staying with us and until then – ciao for now!
