WSOP end of day chip counts (Semi spoilers - at least for day 1 stuff)

Today saw the scarey mother of Jamie Gold survive with 40,000 chips but Isabelle Mercier went out -

wsop is rigged

Its good to see Joe Hachem doing pretty good. Hope he can keep it up and go deep. Scotty Nguyen is doing very good as well.

Ian do you know how many players were in it this year,??? i cant find it,, Thanks,, buck

Hm, it says JANE Gold...that's his mom.

GOOO SCOTTY

That is scary, Jane Gold moves on to Day 2, famed internet pro "BeLOWaBOVe" GONE.

Just shows that it's a big crapshoot. If you love poker and ever win a seat to the ME, take the cash and play in 7 or 8 bracelet events instead.

3rd of the 4 day 1s more big names gone - Tilly, Gowen, Laak, Matusow, Reymer & Sklansky

I think we'll see JC tran and Darrell Dicken go pretty far this year.

That's how it is at any tourney really imo, until you increase your stack by about 50% you're always in danger of being knocked out instantly. Once you get a bigger stac though the big stacks might leave you alone, and it'll be easier to play your own game.

The first hand I win at showdown in a tourney is usually an all in and a double up.

Hey Buckstud they aren't releasing the count on entrants but according to poker listings, they estimate around 6200 to 6700 people playing this years ME, as round 1 is broken down into 1a, 1b etc and each 1st round had about anywhere from 1400 to 1600 per round, I'll be watching and posting if I see it.

Love him or hate him - he is gone, this years WSOP will not be graced by the former winner who goes by the of .................JAMIE GOLD arty:

Phil Hellmuth is out to - along with Deeb, Benyamine, Esfandiari and more.

Total Prizepool: $ 59,784,954 Entries: 6,358

1$ 8,250,000
2$ 4,840,981
3$ 3,048,025
4$ 1,852,721
5$ 1,255,069
6$ 956,243
7$ 705,229
8$ 585,699
9$ 525,934
10$ 476,926

Well, now that Jamie's out, watch his Mom go on to win it

I believe I read that ESPN TV starts today, most likely of some of the earlier events.

Day 2a

More big names fall on the first of the day 2s - but Spiderman climbs to 150,000

lol Ian, no not worth it if its under 10mil!!

I don't know if I would ever play in the WSOP Main Event, unless I really had money to dish out. I just don't know if it is worth it. $10K buy-in with so many 6K+ entrants. Plus, after the few first levels the blinds just start eating you up so quick. You lose one big hand to either a monster or a bad beat and you're crushed.

It was great to see J.C. Tran go from 4500 chips to a very sizeable stack, but I am rooting for Daniel Negreanu to win it. Or at least a few big names to be at the final table. Did you guys read the story about Daniel meeting Andre Agassi? I thought it was funny, he seems like a very stand up guy.
