They need to include all of the participants not just the pros.

I think its truly 1st to 77th place, not just pros. That full tilt entry guy is there.

[KDawgCometh 2]

saw on card player's updates that only 23 have been eliminated so far. so it looks like this tourny structure is great. Daneil might be able to weave some magic under this structure. I'd love to see Raymer make it to the final table and shut up all of those Moneymaker fanboys. HOw crazy would it be if Raymer ends up holding the WPT and WSOP title in the same calender year

Shuffle Up & Deal Log: Steve Lipscomb has taken the microphone in the Fontana Bar, which serves as the main tournament poker room, introducing the event to the gathered crowd of players and spectators. He introduced Jack McClelland, Bellagio's tournament director, who spoke about the event and then asked for a moment of silence to pay respects to Curtis Bibb, a professional player who recently passed away.With the formalities out of the way, it's time for this event to get started. The blinds start at $50-$100, and each level will last for 90 minutes. The 428 players will each start with $50,000 in chips, which is a tremendous amount relative to the blinds.Shuffle up and deal!
