Holy shit. Day one has gone by and Daniel Negraneau, Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth, Erik Seidel, and Chris "Jesus" Ferguson are already out of the tournament. :o :huh: :blink:

They are all, except Seidel, some of my favorite players to watch at the table. <_<

I should point out that "day one" was split into three diiferent dys with a little under 2000 people in a day one heat over the three days. Tourney has about 5600 players. Thought they would fill up.
