Nick “fu_15″ Maimone’s (pictured right) tough start to Day 1A of the WSOP Main Event got even worse when he was all-in with aces on a 10-9-3 flop against pocket queens and lost when the third queen peeled on the turn.

Adam “akat11″ Katz cringed when he discovered he was playing across from David Pham at his starting table. Katz can breathe a little easier now that he has built his stack up to 29k and Pham has went the other direction with only 5k.

Eric “jakz101″ Crain’s stack seems to perpetually lead the life of a yo-yo in nearly every tournament P5’s has followed him at lately. Crain chronicled his richter scale-like path to P5’s of his first three hours of play. He started out getting up to 25k then got down to 10k, then got up to 20k, then down to 16k and is currently back up to the 20k starting stack.

Stay tuned to see where Crain’s roller coaster turns next.

Brock “t_soprano” Parker’s table became a little easier with the departure of David Benyamine, whose A-Q ran into AA on an ace high flop. Parker’s table still features Roland De Wolfe and Peter “number1pen” Neff however.

Here’s a list of players’ stacks

Steve “CornellFiji” Ware - 38k
