The second part of day 1 attracted 864 players to the tables, the total PCA field being 1,529 players. The official prize pool has not yet been released, but with the prize pool of over $15 million, the eventual champion will be taking home more than $3 million!
Even though most of the players started the tournament in the last part of the first day, nobody could come even near the chip leader of the tournament after day 1a, Wayne Bentley. Brazil’s Anibal Tacla, who was playing in his first PCA, ended Day 1B with the chip lead with 166,000, a half of the size of Bentley’s chip stack.
The former World Series of Poker Europe champion Annette Obrestad played a solid day and she is going the day 2 with 124,900 chips in her stack. Phil Ivey, who made a 50% crossbook with Tom “durrrr” Dwan, also had a fine first day, as he ended the day with a healthy stack of 115,700 chips.
Dwan on the other hand can’t be found in the chip counts of the players still in the tournament, so he will be sweating for couple days to see how far Ivey can go in the tournament.
The current world champion Joe Cada was also playing the tournament, but he couldn’t make it through to the next day. Cada was playing in the same table with Playboy Playmate Jayde Nicole (pictured), which made the young man happy, even though the tournament didn’t go as he was planned.
