Is anyone watching the live updates from Day 2? Here's an example.....
The Second Bust Out of Day 1b
One player raises, and gets four callers. Five players see a flop of K-Q-4 with two spades. The original raiser bets 1,000, another player raises to 3,500, and the raiser calls. (The other three players fold.) The turn card is the {9s}, putting three spades on the board. Unfortunately, we don't know how the action went on the turn. The river card pairs the board with another Q, so the board is K-Q-4-9-Q with three spades. There's a lot of potential on that board. On the river, both players get all their money in the pot. The original raiser excitedly says, "Top pair" and shows K-J offsuit. He has two pair, kings and queens, with a jack kicker. The other player says, "Full house," and shows 4-4 for fours full of queens. The player with K-J missed being the first bustout by about a minute.

To be honest, 2nd hand I'd think about folding my bottom boat to an all in.

Early Chipleader?
Dario Minieri takes down a nice pot with a bet on the flop (it had been reraised preflop), increasing his stack to 58,000. That puts him at the top of our list of notables, and we have yet to see any larger stacks. Dario Minieri is best known for being the first person to purchase a Porsche 911 with his Frequent Player Points on PokerStars.
Wow! I can't even inagine how many hands and the linits he played at in order to do the above.
Fuck Harrah's

I'm guessing it has to do with 6358 * 10000.00 doesn't equal less than 60 Mil.
There has been other things said on sites about Harrah's sticking it to the players.
GL Watts and any other forumer who's still in.
