WSOP Main Event: Day: 2a

A very interesting day where many top pros were eliminated. The day ended with only 350 left in this group. This means that tomorrow (day 2b), players will play down to exactly the same time as the players did today. This is to ensure a fair go for all.

Today's big-named eliminations include; 2005 champ, Joe Hachem; "Miami" John Cernuto; Jeff Madsen; 1983 champ Tom McEvoy; 2007 WSOP Player of the Year, Tom Schneider; Evelyn Ng; Barry Greenstein; Farzad Bonyadi; Paul Wasicka; Tony G; "Action Dan" Harrington; Mark Seif; Patrik Antonius; Actor, Brad Garrett; Rhet Butler (5th in last years main event); Jane Gold (Jamie's Mum - haha at Jamie, beaten by his own mother); Capt. Tom Franklin; Hoyt Corkins; Joe Sebok.
