Day 1 started with over 1100 players starting their dream of WSOP success and riches. By the time the chips were bagged, 812 remained to come back again for day 2A on 7th July.
With only 4 levels each day we are expecting a larger percentage of players to make it through to Day 2 than previous years. Many of the PartyPoker players had a good start to their tournament and most of those that are still in finished with a higher stack than the 30,000 starting chips.
These are the chip counts for our players at the end of Day 1 A.
