I got as many as I could, but those without numbers are all in the 20k-30k range as I recall. A complete list will come out later. There are about 70 players left. These are ones I know or whose chip counts I could write down. Hoyt Corkins didn't wear black or a cowboy hat, so he hid from me all day. There are three former WSOP champs in Daugherty, Nguyen and Ferguson. One WPT champ in Goehring. And one woman, Maria Ho. Late bust outs: Chip Reese John Myung Herb Montalbano Vahedi, Amir 75,875 Brown, Chad 72,725 Keikoan, Matt 59,025 Kumar, Sentil 51,975 Deeb, Freddy 50,500 Habib, Hasan 47,425 Rose, Ron 47,300 Le, Tuen 44,025 Esfandiari, Antonio 42,975 Goehring, Alan 39,600 Martin, Jesse 37,750 Prendes, Alex 36,600 Diaz, Arturo 35,650 Nguyen, Scotty 35,500 James, Kenna 34,700 Boston, Al 34,025 Sexton, Keith 33,850 Boyd, Dutch 33,575 Alexander, Lonnie 31,800 Judah, Mel 31,150 Fenton, Ron 30,450 Gazes, Bill 30,075 Ho, Maria 28,975 Levi, David 28,725 Brodie, Richard 28,375 Stolzmann, John 27,725 Ferguson, Chris 26,300 Corkins, Hoyt 25,500 Caro, Mike 24,500 Miller, Andy 23,675 Bloom, Tony 23,525 Demetriou, Harry 22,600 Goldstein, Stan 22,475 Hansen, Thor 22,475 Shulman, Barry 22,225 Ly, Minh 21,400 Daugherty, Brad 21,100 Friedman, Perry 18,175 Flack, Layne 17,725 Skaggs, Randall 16,900 Williamson, Robert 16,025 Seidel, Erik 15,800 Elezra, Eli 13,300 Friedman, Prahlad 13,075 Lawson, Ted 11,400 Boatman, Barny Boatman, Ross Oppenheim, David Todd, Alex Wolfe, Paul 10:30 Phil Hellmuth went quietly. He had only 8k left and went all-in with the J 9 of Clubs when the flop came 8 5 5 with two clubs. He ran into pocket Aces. There's only about a half hour left for the night with about 90 players remaining. Chip counts will take several hours. New outs: Phil Hellmuth Victor Ramdin Surinder Sunar Joe Beevers Chip leaders are Antonio Esfandiari, Ron Rose, Perry Friedman and Kenna James. 9:45 New outs: Doyle Brunson Mickey Appleman Howard Lederer Yosh Nakano Jenny Kang Chris Tsiprailidis Ram Vaswani Still in: Beevers, Joe Bloom, Tony Boatman, Barny Boatman, Ross Boston, Al Boyd, Dutch Brodie, Richard Brown, Chad Caro, Mike Daugherty, Brad Deeb, Freddy Demetriou, Harry Elezra, Eli Esfandiari, Antonio Fenton, Ron Ferguson, Chris Flack, Layne Friedman, Perry Friedman, Prahlad Gazes, Bill Goehring, Alan Goldstein, Stan Habib, Hasan Hansen, Thor Hellmuth, Phil James, Kenna Judah, Mel Kumar, Sentil Lawson, Ted Levi, David Ly, Minh Miller, Andy Montalbano, Herb Myung, John Nguyen, Scotty Oppenheim, David Prendes, Alex Ramdin, Victor Reese, Chip Rose, Ron Seidel, Erik Shulman, Barry Skaggs, Randall Stolzmann, John Sunar, Surinder Todd, Eugene Vahedi, Amir Vinh, Vinnie Williamson, Robert Wolfe, Paul 9:00 New outs: Dewey Tomko Huck Seed Still in: Appleman, Mickey Beevers, Joe Bloom, Tony Boatman, Barny Boatman, Ross Boston, Al Boyd, Dutch Brodie, Richard Brown, Chad Brunson, Doyle Caro, Mike Daugherty, Brad Deeb, Freddy Demetriou, Harry Elezra, Eli Esfandiari, Antonio Fenton, Ron Ferguson, Chris Flack, Layne Friedman, Perry Friedman, Prahlad Gazes, Bill Goehring, Alan Goldstein, Stan Habib, Hasan Hansen, Thor Hellmuth, Phil James, Kenna Judah, Mel Kang, Jenny Kumar, Sentil Lawson, Ted Lederer, Howard Levi, David Ly, Minh Miller, Andy Montalbano, Herb Myung, John Nakano, Yosh Nguyen, Scotty Oppenheim, David Prendes, Alex Ramdin, Victor Reese, Chip Rose, Ron Seidel, Erik Shulman, Barry Skaggs, Randall Stolzmann, John Sunar, Surinder Todd, Eugene Tsiprailidis, Chris Vahedi, Amir Vaswani, Ram Vinh, Vinnie Williamson, Robert Wolfe, Paul 8:30 There were 208 entries. 1st will pay $652,085. They just started the fifth 90 minute level and they will play one more tonight after this one. I'm getting my exercise in. The only computer I can get to pick up a signal is in my room on the 10th floor, way across the building from the tournament area. I should be slimmer any time now. 8:00 New outs: Gus Hansen John D'Agostino Paul Magriel Lindgren, Erick Papachatzakis, Alex Mariani, Frank 7:30 Still in: Appleman, Mickey Beevers, Joe Bloom, Tony Boatman, Barny Boatman, Ross Boston, Al Boyd, Dutch Brodie, Richard Brown, Chad Brunson, Doyle Caro, Mike D’Agostino, John Daugherty, Brad Deeb, Freddy Demetriou, Harry Elezra, Eli Esfandiari, Antonio Fenton, Ron Ferguson, Chris Flack, Layne Friedman, Perry Friedman, Prahlad Gazes, Bill Goehring, Alan Goldstein, Stan Habib, Hasan Hansen, Gus Hansen, Thor Hellmuth, Phil James, Kenna Judah, Mel Kang, Jenny Kumar, Sentil Lawson, Ted Lederer, Howard Levi, David Lindgren, Erick Ly, Minh Magriel, Paul Mariani, Frank Miller, Andy Montalbano, Herb Myung, John Nakano, Yosh Nguyen, Scotty Oppenheim, David Prendes, Alex Ramdin, Victor Reese, Chip Rose, Ron Seed, Huck Seidel, Erik Shulman, Barry Skaggs, Randall Smith, Gavin Stolzmann, John Sunar, Surinder Todd, Eugene Tomko, Dewey Tsiprailidis, Chris Vahedi, Amir Vaswani, Ram Vinh, Vinnie Voulgaris, Haralabos Williamson, Robert Wolfe, Paul Out: Baxter, Billy Bellande, Jean-Paul Bonyadi, Freddy Brunson, Todd Cassidy, Joe Chiu, David Corkins, Hoyt Franklin, Tom Hennigan, John Jensen, Randy Keller, Thomas Le, Nam Mizrachi, Michael Perry, Ralph Violette, Cyndy Waterman, Dennis Watkinson, Lee Williams, David 5:00 pm Still In: Appleman, Mickey Baxter, Billy Beevers, Joe Bellande, Jean-Paul Bloom, Tony Boatman, Barny Boatman, Ross Bonyadi, Freddy Boston, Al Boyd, Dutch Brodie, Richard Brown, Chad Brunson, Doyle Brunson, Todd Caro, Mike Cassidy, Joe Chiu, David D’Agostino, John Daugherty, Brad Deeb, Freddy Demetriou, Harry Elezra, Eli Esfandiari, Antonio Ron Fenton Ferguson, Chris Flack, Layne Franklin, Tom Friedman, Perry Friedman, Prahlad Gazes, Bill Goehring, Alan Goldstein, Stan Habib, Hasan Hansen, Gus Hansen, Thor Hennigan, John James, Kenna Jensen, Randy Judah, Mel Kang, Jenny Keller, Thomas Kumar, Sentil Lawson, Ted Le, Nam Lederer, Howard Levi, David Lindgren, Erick Ly, Minh Magriel, Paul Mariani, Frank Mizrachi, Michael Montalbano, Herb Myung, John Nakano, Yosh Nguyen, Scotty Perry, Ralph Prendes, Alex Ramdin, Victor Reese, Chip Rose, Ron Seed, Huck Seidel, Erik Shulman, Barry Skaggs, Randall Smith, Gavin Stolzmann, John Sunar, Surinder Todd. Eugene Tomko, Dewey Tsiprailidis, Chris Vahedi, Amir Vaswani, Ram Vinh, Vinnie Violette, Cyndy Voulgaris, Haralabos Waterman, Dennis Watkinson, Lee Williams, David Williamson, Robert Wolfe, Paul More early outs: Greg Raymer David Pham Dennis Seagal Chris Bigler Andy Bloch Ted Forrest Billy Duarte Barry Greenstein Tuna Lund Phil Ivey Glyn Banks Max Pescatori John Phan Chau Giang Allen Cunningham Gabe Kaplan Steve Zolotow Daniel Negreanu made his flush but Ted Lawson had trip 4's and caught quads on the river. Greg Raymer had two pair but lost to a set. 4:00 pm Early outs: T J Cloutier had pocket Queens in the small blind and made it 425. Richard Brodie had 9 8 and put T J on a semi-steal. The flop came Q J 10 to give Richard the dumb straight. Not dumb, he got Cloutier all-in and out on the second hand of the tournament. Lee Salem said he followed a Budweiser truck for 20 miles around the mountain roads for this? He was out with pocket Queens also, when someone made a move with K J of Club and spiked a King on the turn all-in. Other early departures: Josh Arieh Scott Fischman Mimi Tran Toto Leonidas I'm told that Daniel Negreanu went out to quads. I'll confirm. 3:00 pm PST My wireless phone connection is useless this far from a city, so the updates will periodic.
