The fourth and final starting day to the Main Event is always the biggest. It's jam-packed with the biggest names from wall to wall. Many players enjoy waiting to the last day so that they don't have a big break in the action before they play Day 2. Others enjoy taking some time off before the Main Event grind kicks in. You can expect that both the Amazon Room and the Pavilion will be stuffed with players.
The chip leaders from each day so far are Corwin Cole (228,200) from Day 1a, James Danielson (201,050) from Day 1b and Mathieu Sauriol (169,900) from Day 1c. The leaders tend to rise as the starting fields get bigger given that there are more players and more chips in play, but the opposite is true this year up until this point. Maybe today will have a different story.

Day1b Main event
Players Left 1021 Entries 1489
It was nearly twelve hours ago that players began to file into the Amazon Room and Pavilion to kick off the second Day 1 of the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event. After four and a half levels of play, those lucky enough to still have chips in front of them are bagging them up and heading home for the night.
We started the day with 1,489 players. That's nearly 400 more than we had for yesterday's Day 1a. Not only was the entire Amazon room occupied by Main Event entrants, but there were another 450 players who started their day off in the Pavilion. Of those who started out today, it appears that just over 1,000 have been fortunate enough to make it through the day.
As was to be expected, it was another day full of appearances by high-profile players. Those who had their Main Event dreams cut short include Ivan Demidov, Joe Sebok, Erick Lindgren, Justin Bonomo, Bertrand Grospellier, Liv Boeree, Jamie Gold and Arnaud Mattern.
On a more positive note, we have plenty of players gearing up for Day 2. Our chip leader for the day appears to be James Danielson who will kick off his Day 2 with an impressive 201,050 chips. Trailing not far behind are Filippo Candio (167300), Robert Miller (155,225) and Jason DeWitt (149,850).
Some of the fortunate few to break the 100,000-chip mark include Alex Kostritsyn (106,000), Florian Langmann (100,000) and Kido Pham (114,000).
Other notables we can expect to see when they return on Day 2b include Gavin Griffin (97,200), Dan Kelly (74,000), Brandon Cantu (72,000), Johnny Lodden (62,500), Phil Laak (58,000), Jon Turner (63,825), Dan Harrington (45,000), George Lind (11,975), Gavin Smith (40,000) and on it goes...
Completing Day 1 is a goal for many in and of itself. It is, however, just the first necessary step on a long journey down the road to our final table in November

41st Annual World Series of Poker® Sets New Major Milestones
Total Prize Money and Participation Establish New High Water Marks
Main Event Increases 12 Percent from 2009; Total Participation Finishes up 20 Percent
LAS VEGAS (July 8, 2010) – The 41st annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) proved impervious to the global economic slowdown, setting a host of new records as poker enthusiasts from 117 nations* traveled to Las Vegas to compete in the game’s grandest spectacle. While most live poker tournaments this year posted anemic results, the WSOP sharply reversed that trend, with a record 72,966 entries in 57 events creating the largest prize pool in WSOP history: $187,109,850.
The new all-time high in entrants surpassed by 20 percent the previous record of 60,875 set last year; this year’s record prize pool eclipsed the previous high of $180,774,427 set in 2008 by 3.5 percent. The amount of events offered in 2010 was identical to last year – 57.
For the third consecutive year, the WSOP both generated a total prize pool well in excess of $100 million and attracted players from more than 100 nations and territories. The 117 countries represented this year is up from 115 countries last year.
In the 41-year history of the WSOP, the prestigious tournament has now awarded more than $1.2 billion in prize money. (Actual figure is: $1,228,375,121).
Legions of amateur players competed alongside legendary poker pros, Hollywood A-listers and international sports figures to establish the new milestones. Among the notable non-poker playing names competing during this year’s WSOP included: Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Jason Alexander, Hank Azaria, Ray Romano, Shanna Moakler, Jerome Bettis, Shannon Elizabeth, Scott Ian, Trishelle Cannatella, Jennifer Tilly, Shane Warne, Robert Iler, Shawn Marion, Petter Northug, David Alan Grier, Sara Underwood and Brad Garrett.
The youngest player in this year’s WSOP was John May, who played Day 1-D of the Main Event, a day after his 21st birthday. The oldest player to participate in this year’s WSOP – or in any WSOP – is 97-year-old Jack Ury, who also played Day 1-D of the Main Event.
“By every measure, this was the most successful World Series of Poker in the event’s illustrious 41-year history,” said World Series of Poker Vice President Ty Stewart. “From the lowest buy-in events to the highest, we saw enormous player demand translate into lengthy registration lists and massive prize pools. As the WSOP Main Event progresses, we’re looking forward to creating several new multi-millionaires.”
Many within the poker community speculated that participation in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Championship – commonly referred to as the Main Event – would suffer from the weak performance of many international currencies as well as the effects of the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act’s (UIGEA) June 1, 2010, enforcement deadline.
Nevertheless, the WSOP Main Event attracted its second-largest field ever, with 7,319 participants. As a result, the prize pool for the Main Event alone stands at $68,798,600 million, with the winner’s share amounting to $8,944,138.
In all, the 2010 WSOP hosted nine of the 17 largest tournaments in live poker history, including:
· Event #57 – 7,319 entrants – second-largest (only the 2006 WSOP Main Event was larger)
· Event #3 – 4,345 entrants – eighth-largest
· Event #54 – 3,844 entrants – tenth-largest
· Event #24 – 3,289 entrants – eleventh-largest
· Event #34 – 3,142 entrants – thirteenth-largest
· Event #47 – 3,128 entrants – fourteenth-largest
· Event #36 – 3,102 entrants – fifteenth-largest
· Event #45 – 3,097 entrants – sixteenth-largest
· Event #13 – 3,042 entrants – seventeenth-largest
In addition to overall participation and prize money, the 2010 WSOP established new records for:
Most million-dollar tournaments: Forty-four of 57 events in this year’s WSOP boasted a prize pool of $1 million or more, up 13 percent from the previous record (39 of 57 tournaments) set last year.
Largest Seniors event in history: Event #34 attracted 3,142 players, eclipsing by 16 percent the previous record of 2,707 set last year. Year-over-year event prize money was up nearly 15 percent from last year, jumping from $2,463,700 to $2,827,800.
Oldest player to participate: Jack Ury, 97 years old. Ury, who was born in March of 1913, continues to break his own record each year he participates in the Main Event.
Most consecutive years to cash at WSOP: Berry Johnston’s two in-the-money finishes this year (Events #4 and #45) give the 1986 World Champion cashes for 28 straight years, the most in history. His two cashes this year give him a total of 61 in-the-money finishes at the WSOP, placing him in fourth place all-time.
Largest live Pot-Limit Omaha tournament in history: Event #20 attracted 885 entries. The previous mark, set during Event #5 of the 2009 WSOP, was 809 entrants. The new record represents an increase of more than 9 percent.
Most consecutive years with multiple event winner: Frank Kassela’s two victories stretched the multi-event winner record to 11 consecutive years.
Biggest single day attendance ever: 3,097 players in Event #45.
Most consecutive annual WSOPs played: Howard “Tahoe” Andrew of Walnut Creek, Calif., extended his record for most consecutive years played at the WSOP: 37.
Largest amount of chips in play: This year’s WSOP Main Event featured a total of 219,570,000 million in chips. Because players in this year’s WSOP Main Event received chips valued at three times the buy-in ($30,000), the total chips in play exceeded the amount in the largest tournament ever, the 2006 Main Event, during which players received two-times the buy-in (20,000).
Most cashes at WSOP without a win: Tony Cousineau of Daytona Beach, Fla., extended his record as the player with the most cashes – 46 – without a win.
*A nation is defined as any country, territory or location. Included in these calculations are Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, because the purpose is to show the broad range of different locations people travel from in order to participate in the WSOP.

2010 World Series of Poker
Event #57: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship
Day 1d Concludes
The fourth and final Day 1 flight has come to a close. Today saw the largest field of all four flights -- 2,391 -- fill the Amazon and Pavilion Rooms. Added to our first three days, the overall total of 7,319 players means this year's Main Event is the second-largest tournament in live poker history (behind the 8,773-player 2006 Main Event).
That field together creates a $68,798,600 prize pool to be divided up between the top 747 finishers. And come November, the one player from this group who manages to accumulate every last chip will claim $8,944,138, the gold bracelet, and poker immortality.
A number of notables chose the last starting day, and for some their starting day was also their finishing day. Phil Gordon was an early exit, as were John Tabatabai, Justin Smith, Michael Craig, Jose "Nacho" Barbero, and the top two finishers from the 2005 Main Event, Steve Dannenmann and Joe Hachem. Others failing to survive to Day 2 included John Juanda, Allen Kessler, Cliff Josephy, Sorel Mizzi, and Wendeen Eolis.
Meanwhile, David Benyamine, Bill Chen, Phil Ivey, Kara Scott, and Jason Mercier all jumped out to good starts today, though they were soon overtaken by Khamsy Nuanmanee. She would be the first to six digits, then would spend much of the evening near or at the top of the leaderboard.
At night's end, though, it was Steve "MrSmokey1" Billirakis making a late charge to claim the lead, with Steven Tabb, Julian Foussard, Dan Springfield, and Lestor Martinez also ending the night filling their bags with extra chips. And a quick glance down the leaderboard shows other familiar names such as Archie Karas, Vanessa Rousso, Josh Arieh, and probable 2010 WSOP Player of the Year Frank Kassela having done especially well for themselves today, too.
Of the 2,391 who started today's Day 1d, about 1,700 made it through, meaning we're still looking at more than 5,000 players whose 2010 WSOP Main Event dreams remain alive. Tomorrow those who made it through Days 1a and 1c will come back for Day 2a, with the rest (from Day 1b and Day 1d) continuing their tourney journeys on Day 2b.

Was thinking along similar lines when I read about the 1.2 billion in prizes that they'd given out in total since the WSOP began.
Very generous of them!!!

The 4 mill is just on the Main event, god knows how much they have made all together. It sure isn't paying the dealers as the players look after them with tips.

Thewy is OUT in a strange coup.
He had 3-3 in the BB. He intended to call a 1,225 Raise, but mistakenly shipped a 5k chip in with the smaller denoms, so it went as a Raise. The Raiser folded, but the SB set Thewy all-in!
The SB KNEW it was a mistake, & Thewy KNEW that the SB knew it was a mistake. Tricky spot.
Thewy decided to make the call - SB had 9-9!
And it was tough to come back after the Flop came 9-8-8!
He never used it as an excuse, but I seem to recall Thewy has problems with colour-blindness. No excuse, but it may have contributed to the error. Next case.

2010 World Series of Poker
Event #57: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship
Day 2a In The Bag; Estafanous In The Lead!
After eight levels of intense tournament poker, Day 2a has come to a close in Event #57: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship!
At midday, 2,412 wide-eyed and poker-ready players walked eagerly through the doors of both the Amazon and Pavilion Rooms to see what fate awaited them throughout the course of the day.
Corwin Cole began the day as the tournament chip leader, but only saw his stack slide downward as many around him began closing ground. Multiple WSOP bracelet holder Jesper Hougaard, cash game specialists Patrik Antonius and Cole South along with Robert Mizrachi were just a few of those that rose up the leaderboard.
Unfortunately, many would find themselves on the rail including previous champions Carlos Mortensen, Berry Johnston, Tom McEvoy and Bobby Baldwin, along with 2010 bracelet winners Dutch Boyd and Daniel Alaei. The international brigade shrunk slightly with James Akenhead, Marcel Luske, Rob Hollink and Luca Pagona a few to book their flight home early.
Approximately 1,260 players have booked themselves a place on Monday for Day 3, and currently it seems as though Boulos Estafanous will be leading the charge with an amassed 344,100 in chips. Snapping on his heels however will be Randy Dorfman (337,000) Jesper Hougaard (316,200), Rodney Sherry (316,000), Sam Abueid (314,000) and Cole South (304,200).
Throw in a chipped-up Sammy Farha and Patrik Antonius, the dangerous Jason Somerville and Carter Phillips, along with previous champion Johnny Chan and a load of tournament veterans and amateurs, and it is truly still every players tournament to win!
