It's the Main Event!
In previous years, the Main was the last tournament and we could just focus on that, which worked quite well from our point of view, but this time there are still lots more events to run alongside and even after the Main has finished, so we'll see how that goes.
795 players took part in Day1A yesterday and only 134 were eliminated, but they included three former ME Champions - Qui Nguyen, Jerry Yang and defending champion Scott Blumstein. Previous winners who did get through were Joe Hachem, Scotty Nguyen and Joe McKeehen.
Chidwick, Ramos, Rast and Kornuth also bombed.

She's only gone and done it again. Linda Iwaniak got her third WSOP cash of the year, finishing 35th out of 3,250 players this time. Hot damn!
APAT Champion Rajiv Sakaria also cashed.

Srinivas Balasubramanian started the final table as chip leader with 18½m, compared with 11m for the second-placed player - and finished ninth just over half an hour later! First Srinivas had a player all-in on the Flop, with two outs, but one of them came and he dropped 6m. A couple of minutes later he doubled up a second player and lost 5m. He won 3½m from Mizrachi, but then doubled him up for 7½m, so a net loss of 4m. Before long he lost his last 4m to yet another player and was eliminated first.
Tim Andrew, playing in his first WSOP tournament, started 4th in chips but slept late and missed the start. They started at the crack of 2pm so I guess it was understandable. He arrived at the table just in time to see Balasubramanian's elimination. After the tournament, he came up with a never-to-be forgotten insight into why he won: "I love playing poker".

Galen Hall is a full-time hedge fund manager as well as a part-time poker pro and has only been able to play a limited number of events, going back and forth to work, popping in at lunchtime to bust a tournament and so on.
A nice score from Zaichenko brings Jordan into contention.
And another cash for Jon Walker.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Hall. Would you like to keep the bracelet or go for the washer-dryer?

Almost a second bracelet for Player of the Year contender Scott Bohlman, who lost heads-up. Third-placed Ken Aldridge has worn his only bracelet every day since he won it in 2009, so it might be just as well he didn't get another one.
Ken Aldridge, Dan Matsuzuki, Scott Bohlman, Giuseppe Maggisano, Stuart Ward
