After 4 days we finally know everything we need to know about the Main Event of this year's WSOP. Number of participants is 6844, an increase in comparison to least year and the total prize colected is $64,333,600. The in the money zone consists of 666 players, with first place earning $9,119,517.
 As usual, some famous people showed their faces in the main event. Some that surely caught the attention of the guys were MMA legend Chuck Liddell (see picture), and Forrest Griffin, current Light Heavyweight Champion of the UFC. Also, there is a huge list of elimination of great players. Just to name a few: Tom "Durrr" Dwan, Sorel "imperium" Mizzi, Phil 'OMGClayAiken' Galfond and Taylor 'Green Plastic' Caby. You can have a bit more information about that on our newsblog. The newsblog has daily posts on the happenings of the Main Event.
