The July 4th holiday is over and today we expect a much bigger crowd for Day 1c then the previous two. Before the start of the day, players were being stacked up by security behind the ropes and just about every table was staffed. This will definitely be the biggest field of the Main Event start ups and there will be plenty of action. Congressional champion of online poker, U.S. Representative Barney Frank addressed the crowd and issued the traditional “Shuffle up and deal”.
In the good news of the day, “Miami” John Cernuto is back in the Amazon Room after spending several days in the hospital with some serious health issues. He seems to be back to his old self, holding court over the table and joking with Tom McEvoy. Many other members of Team Full Tilt are making the Main Event appearance including Howard Lederer, John Juanda, Lee Watkinson, David Singer, and 2008 Final Table player Kelly Kim.
There was speculation around the room about the size of today’s field considering a lot of online pros generally spend their Sunday taking on the big online tournaments but some of those big names are in the field today including Eric “Rizen” Lynch. We won’t have the exact number of entrants until well into the evening but there is a chance we’ll hit the magic 2,000 player number.
More to come later in the day including pictures from Day 1b. A handful of Full Tilt pros including Fabrice Soulier (87,725), Mike Matusow (37,875), Chris Ferguson, (24,050), and Erik Seidel (18,550). Those players will return on Tuesday for Day 2a.
