Besides Watts, who are the other forumers that made it from day 1a?
At least four of the players I recognized from the Casino Brantford's Ultimate Poker Challenge made it. One of them took out Kenna James and doubled up through Barry Greenstein as described in the link, and has around 77,000 chips.
Along with Dead Money and Royal Cup player xx23, Daniel Negreanu, Mike Matusow and John Juanda may be playing today.
I did see John Juanda, Kathy Leibert, Justin Bonomo, David Pham and Jeff Madsen playing. I also bumped into Freddy Deeb in the hallway and chatted for a minute (he's a really friendly guy). Not sure whether I'll get back there tonight to check things out tonight, but it's been nice to see friends playing in the big tournies. I hope Rob an Xuan both make it to Monday - good luck!
Well, I am still in......... sort of. Sitting with 13600. Took some ugly beats towards the end of the day. My high chips for the day was 34K at the diner break. 6 hours of tough poker followed.
Welcome to push or fold poker!
What is your feel on the experience? Or is it just like a big Ching Hill?
Couldn't possibly be THAT good, could it?
I loved my first table, many pros and some loose play. By the first break our table was closed, and I sat at a very tough table. We didn't loose a player until after dinner. The hole night we only lost 4....very tough poker.
That's weird... According to Card Player, they let people register until 2pm on day 1c.

Official Player Count
There are 161 players registered for today and registration will be open for 20 more minutes. That number would put the official total player count at 504. Last year, 497 players entered the event and created a first-place prize of $1,352,000. Expect a slight increase over that for this year's event.
