Stars fall as WSOP Main Event Day 1C concludes
A large number of star players were among the casualties, as the World Series of Poker's $10,000 Main Event concluded its Day 1C this morning.
The starting day drew a total of 3,418 players, the highest ever in the history of the Main Event.
Sadly for a number of well-known pros, the starting day would also be their only taste of action, as they busted out without making it on to Day 2.
This goes for players like Annette Obrestad, Andrew Robl, Lex Veldhuis, Humberto Brenes, Chino Rheem, Olivier Busquet, Nacho Barbero and 2010 champion Jonathan Duhamel.
More successful was the unknown Randy Haddox, who finished the day on top of the counts with a 188,275 chips stack.
Also making it on the the next stages of the tournament with big stacks were Brandon Adams with 158,100 chips, Jake Cody with 124,675, Joe Cada with 117,375, Sorel Mizzi with 115,000 and Viktor "Isildur1" Blom with 110,225.
A number of superstars further went through with medium sized stacks, including Johnny Chan with 82,300, Doyle Brunson with 81,400 and Antonio Esfandiari with 78,925.
Jason Mercier and Phil Ivey were also among the survivors, although both went through with less than half of their 30,000 starting stack.
Overall chip leader is still Austrian player William John, who finished Day 1A with 266,700 chips.
The festivities will continue tomorrow at noon, Las Vegas time, where the survivors of today's Day 1C will continue on the first of altogether three Day 2s.

It’s very difficult to survive the massive fields in any wsop event on day one two or three, any top pro will tell you that, especially the main event. Not only do you have to watch out for the quality players sitting at your table who know how to play the game, you also have to be able to sidestep the maniac's that are willing to risk it all on crazy plays in an effort to advance their chip stacks, you know they type, the ones who’ll go all in after the flop with just a six high flush draw. Patience and timed aggression is the key to making it to the money.
