WSOP 2008
End of Day 1A
by Court on 04.20.08, 3:23 am
After a fairly short day the players have bagged up their chips and headed out into the Bellagio to find dinner. Tomorrow a new set of players will take their turn on the felt and on Monday the remaining players from the two day ones will combine for day 2 play.
Billy Baxter (167,150), Darrell “Gigabet” Dicken (163,675) and Steve “MrSmokey1″ Billirakis came out of the day at the top of the chip counts and will be in good shape coming into day 2 play, though there is still a long way to go. This tournament is scheduled to last until April 26th, leaving 7 more days of action before a champion is crowned. The top 100 make the money though since the registration number finally cracked the 400 mark so the money bubble will come fairly early as almost a quarter of the field gets paid.
