yeah, second bustout of the day was awesome:

The Second Bust Out of Day 1b
One player raises, and gets four callers. Five players see a flop of K-Q-4 with two spades. The original raiser bets 1,000, another player raises to 3,500, and the raiser calls. (The other three players fold.) The turn card is the , putting three spades on the board. Unfortunately, we don't know how the action went on the turn. The river card pairs the board with another Q, so the board is K-Q-4-9-Q with three spades. There's a lot of potential on that board. On the river, both players get all their money in the pot. The original raiser excitedly says, "Top pair" and shows K-J offsuit. He has two pair, kings and queens, with a jack kicker. The other player says, "Full house," and shows 4-4 for fours full of queens. The player with K-J missed being the first bustout by about a minute.

My big question is, these are the pros that were pointed out already:

Pros Playing Day 1B

When the hell did David William's mother be considered a pro?

I will begin to understand leveling and sarcasm someday!

^ They probably should put Day 1B NOTABLES.

So if the first two days did 1.5-6k, is that what we are looking at for the last two days? I thought today and tomorrow being sold out(which they're aparently not) would mean like 3k.

im assuming day 4 will be the busiest day because of satellites/last minute signups and people scrounging around for stakes

How late is Phil Hellmuth normally? His arrival must be coming soon. Be interesting to see if he lasts the day.

I've been reading some of the live updates, and I'm baffled at how badly some players can play in a 10K tourney.

It's hardly worthy of the name World Series any more. It's more like minor league tryouts.

I think Monday will be the smallest day.
