CHIP COUNTS

All counts are courtesy of the World Series of Poker. Transcription errors are mine and, though I’ll do my best to keep an updated list of who at the Series is affiliated with Full Tilt, apologies for misattribution. I will attempt immediately to correct any errors brought to my attention (mrchaotic@aol.com).

Notes: Day 1 chip leader Bruno Fitoussi busted before the dinner break … Chris Moneymaker, who was second in chips on Day 1, busted one table short of the money, walked into the single-table satellite room, asked to enter the first satellite available, and said, “I’m gonna get drunk.” … Ted Forrest missed an hour of play after the dinner break because he fell asleep with both his cell phones turned off. He returned, woke up, and rebounded to finish the day just behind Bonomo in second chip position … David Pham became the first Full Tilt pro to cash, finishing 24th, earning $71,858.
