Small main event update

Oh damn! I just lost an entire blog post by accidentally pressing backspace outside of the text field! Anyway, the big news of today is obviously the number of players that were unable to register in the Main Event. The problem is that Day 1D reached its maximum capacity (2700), so everyone who tried to register after that was simply turned away by the WSOP organizers. Rumors say that at least 500 players couldn’t register themselves in the tournament, and part of them stood in front of the registration cage despite getting told the registration was officially closed. Ouch.

Some high-caliber players are among these unlucky guys, with Patrik Antonius, TJ Cloutier and Layne Flack being some of the most known.

As of right now, Day 1D is on a 90-minute break and Blair Hinkle is the current chip leader. We hope he can finish the day as well as he started it. GL Blair! Checking the chip counts we can also spot Elky and Daut in the list. They have 66,000 and 32,700 chips respectively.

Once we move on to Days 2 and 3 things will definitely get more interesting. For now we can only hope our friends won’t become part of the huge list of eliminated players.

I busted after 3 hours. T_T

I wonder what TJ did with the 10k he was going to use to register with

I have 137k going to day 2

I busted with half an hour left today aipf with KK vs a8o (lol - sorry backers). PoorUser's monstering level was clearly maximum today, hes sitting with a 192k stack and should be among the day 1d chipleaders. Mipwnya is also doing well with about 60k. Chris is sitting just under 50k

Blake Cahail has 79825 end of the day. Blair ended up with 80650. his brother grant is out. teej is out. ket was busted by ivey.

echo is also out. reading jon's tweets were depressing

Some old dude had a plastic bag on the table right next to his chips, I asked him twice if it was weed,... turned out it was the ashes of his dead wife

pooruser has 190k

Elky with 127k
