A
total of 161 poker players took part for the day 1 of the 2010
World
Poker Tour Championship.
Each player began the day with 100,000 in chips, good for 500 big
blinds. Players who decide to register on day 2 will still start the
poker
tournament with
a respectable 125 big blinds, more than enough to make a run at the
title despite missing an entire day of the tournament.
With
so many chips in play, eliminations were few and far between and the
day ended with just 23 casualties. Among those that hit the rail were
Antonio Esfandiari,
Kevin Saul,
McLean Karr,
Justin Smith,
Annette Obrestad and
Card Player's owner Jeff
Shulman. Other notables
who finished the day near the top of the leader board include Shawn
Buchanan, David
Benyamine, Phil Ivey and Christian
Harder.
