So finally the last day 1 of the Main Event, day 1D has been played. Finally we knew how many total players would be playing the event (6944) and how many would go through (about half of them). Day 1D was the biggest of the 4 day 1's, with 2461 entrants. A devilish total of 666 players will get paid, each getting their share of $64,333,600 total prizemoney. The first prize is a whopping $9,119,517

Being the biggest day so far, there was a lot more to see. After last year's debacle by Fail Hellmuth, when he crashed his car at the parking, this time he again got the attention that turns him on. Arriving in a military jeep and dressed as a general, with a squad of hot UltimateBet-chicks once again. This time it seemed to have helped him, we haven't seen him complaining before walking away, he stayed at his table till the end of the day, finishing with a healthy stack of just under 80k.




Last year's winner, Jerry Yang, is doing ok, he's still in which is enough of a surprise to me. Doyle and Johnny Chan are also still alive (Chan survived a table with UFC fighter Forest Griffin, who got busted out, if Griffin had to pick the game, I'm sure Chan would have lost as well). Some other famous bustouts were Dario Minieri, Noel Furlong ('99 Main Event winner), Chris Ferguson (2000 ME winner), David Williams, Layne Flack, Michael Mizrachi, John Phan, etc.

Grant Hinkle survived with just 15.3k chips, whil his brother Blair had 58k at the end of day 1A, they wont be playing at the same day just yet (Grant will play 2B, along with the rest of the survivors of 1C and 1D, Blair will play 2A on tuesday, along with those who survived 1A or 1B).

Liquidpoker:
Rainkhan: 54.6k
Frinkx: 51.2k
Nolan: 23.9k

wobbly_au busted
Daut: 23.7k

I hope I haven't forgot any, but if I do, please reply below.

Chipleaders of the day:

    Steve Austin 149,000 (no, not the wrestling-guy Stone Cold Steve Austin )
    Mohamad Kowssarie 146,000

    Sami Rustom 140,450
    Dylan Linde 138,425
