Hello guys,
This is Liquidpoker's WSOP news blog. Myself (Raidern), Pindarots and BossMC are going to make daily posts to cover up every single one of the WSOP events. The main objetive of this blog is to keep tracking of every result, and obviously to follow the LPers results in Vegas 
So let's start with some post over the inaugural event of this year's WSOP. It's the $10,000 Pot Limit Hold'em World Championship. There were 352 entrances for this tournament, and of course many of them are big known stars of the poker world: Raymer, Negreanu, Chris Ferguson, Jamie Gold, Phil Ivey, Money Maker and many others.
The prizepool for this event is $3,308,800 and 1st place takes home $794,112, so take a look at what the payment looks like:
1st - $794,112
2nd - $488,048
3rd - $306,064
4th - $248,160

Besides, obviously, the poker player's much dreamed WSOP Bracelet!
Now back to what really matters. Many of those players mentioned above are already out of the tournament. From the 352 that started only 70 started day two (today), and among them we can spot Antonius, Eliza Elezra (chipleader), Gavin Smith, Michael Martin, and, how curious, NBC heads-up finalists, Chris Ferguson and Andy Bloch on the same table! Competition really looks tough when you take in consideration all the achievements of a lot of these players.
