a few more

JP Kelly ‏@JP_Kelly5

Had KK v AA and just had QQ v AA and folded 2nd nut flush on river!! Down to 19k but dodging bullets!! Dario Minieri on new table short...

JP Kelly ‏@JP_Kelly5

Gave the guy $100 to show....in hindsight I think $10-$20 would've got the job done!!!

Karl Mahrenholz ‏@KarlMahrenholz

Isildur just won a 95k pot all in preflop with AKo against his unknown opponent's pocket kings. The unknown opponent is now left with 10k

Karl Mahrenholz ‏@KarlMahrenholz

Took us 7 bets to get all in. I guess I could have had AQ, maybe that was the hand I'd been waiting for all day

Karl Mahrenholz ‏@KarlMahrenholz

In the big pot I lost, when Isildur went to 5 bet the dealer told him he couldn't as it was 4 bets maximum. Welcome to the @wsop

Karl Mahrenholz ‏@KarlMahrenholz

Then he started dealing the flop after being asked to wait for the cameras. I enjoyed staring at the ace in the door whilst we "held up"

Karl Mahrenholz ‏@KarlMahrenholz

20bb and a dream that will likely be crushed during the 1st level of day 2

----

Ryan Spittles ‏@scotty_77

Loose opener and a caller. I jam 17bb w kj. Opener folds callers makes the call with jt. JQT flop. Until next year

---


Ben Jenkins ‏@TFPbenj

Grinded hard all day, waited for it, it was no good. 33 < 66 on 369dd then AQ < KQ aip vs same guy to bust #fuming

---


Chris Moorman ‏@Moorman1

Bagged up 108,050 to make it through to day 2. Hopefully the start of a marathon run this year #dreamingisntillegalright


-----


Jack Ellwood ‏@jackellwood85

Bagging 13k, truly dismal day summed by chopping QQ v QJ in 36k pot 20 mins before the end


----

nicky evans ‏@nickyevanspoker

Brutal hands all day. Really happy to finish with 20,000 going into 250/500/50. Biggest grind of my life!


-----------

Jamie Dale ‏@Obafemi9

Finished day 1 with 61,425...250/500 on return


-----


Ben Turnstill ‏@TheOracleBen

Finished day with 124,550. Really pleased, increased stack on every level of the day.

----------


Paul Foltyn ‏@Pab09

Finished the day with 43k in WSOP main event, was a long tough day, back on Wednesday, 8 out of 9 ppl in our house made it thru, :-)

Note that this list is compiled based on the locations given on the WSOP site.
I'm not 100% convinced that Yevgen Chernenko, Enver Abduraimov, Oleg Shkapenko & Igor Yaroshevskyy are Brits.

Carl Viktor Blom appears to have an address of "Clarendon Place, , GB".

[outragous76]

Matthew Turk   10,100


Didnt know "Mad" was short for matthew!


List of heroes in there! Surely someone can go deep?

[tikay]

That's brilliant (subject to the "address" caveat you mention), thank you.

I may just "borrow" that.....
