main event day 1a

Hey, main event finally started. 1297 players registered for day 1A and 636 are still alive for day 2. Obviously a lot more registered for days b, c and d. If you didn't know already, this event has 7 play-days (1a-d, 2ab, 3-7) that are gonna be played in 12 days. Its a huge tournament with a huge history. I actually think its great when you realize you are playing with a man like Doyle Brunson that played with legends of the game like Stuey Ungar and Chip Reese. Awesome.

Some LPers played yesterday, some others decided to play on another day, like rainkhan (1d), thewh00sel (1c), milkman (1c) and many others. Please if you are playing the ME let a msg here or here so we can rail you guys.

Ket , mig, twistedecho, p00ruser, bigred0000 , peachy/n0rthface, raidan , jonnycosmo are the guys that I know have played day 1a. Red names were eliminated, and Green names are still alive.

I'm not sure because I didn't see any picture, but the livereporting says Blake Cahail (he is in the house with the LPers) was dressed as a wizard (?), they even posted something like "call Harry Potter", talking about him. It seems like it was a bet between him and Blair Hinkle (also 'in the house', mig's roommate I think), that that if one of them won a bracelet, the other would have to play the Main Event in a costume. I think that's one of the bets you make when you expect you'll never need to pay haha

About LP guys, Ket and Bigred0000 are doing good, both have around 70k chips. Blair Hinkle is also well, with 50k chips. Cosmo has around 20k chips, raidan is around 60k chips, so we have some members with a nice stack.

I don't know who is playing today (day 1b), if you know let me know, make a post. Good luck to everyone!

Lol, yeah, I misread the sentence

But anyway, if Jamie Gold and Jerry Yang can win the WSOP, why not Ket?
