And with that, the poker referee has blown his final whistle, and we're done for the night. It's been an odd day, as the HORSE tends to be, but an interesting experience nonetheless. I believe we lost around 15 players today, which is a big difference to the 2 we lost on Day 1 of last year. If you want to learn more about that, then it's certainly worth reading Daniel Negreanu's blog where he comments about the structure of this weeks 50k event.
Anyhow, I believe the chip counts (or hope) will arrive in my inbox as soon as they are available, but until then, check out these top 10 chip counts from worldseriesofpoker.com...
