This morning, a large sigh of relief could be heard emanating from the Eyebrows HQ. Normally such sounds of relieved contentment are reserved for the online browsing that goes above and beyond the call of duty, but today it was achieved without even having to disable the ‘safe-search’ filter.
It came when we realised that the period of the WSOP’s main event that features multiple opening days is now over and from this point on, the action will be far easier to report.
Day 3 will be upon us later and the field still totals more than 1,300 players. Of those, here are a few to look out for:
Phil ‘The Brat’ Hellmuth is sitting on a round 200,000. His decision to arrive to the last of the opening days dressed in a military uniform, riding a tank and looking the spit of George C. Scott in Patten has evidently helped for his conquest of the WSOP.
Victor Ramdin, winner of a WPT event, has clearly found enough time away from the distraction of his philanthropic work in Guyana and his love of darts, to dedicate to the WSOP as he has amassed 358,000.
The tournament has also seen plenty of heads rolling, with former kings such as Doyle Brunson, Greg Raymer and Chris Ferguson forced to join the great unwashed during the opening days.
By the end of Day 4, we should have reached the first pay-out level and any survivors will be sure of a $21,230 cash-in.
