innerpsycho more than triples his starting stack
innerpsycho was the PokerStrategist who turned in the best performance on Day 1A. He started his day seated to the left of Greg "Fossil Man" Raymer but that did not last long. About an hour into the day, innerpsycho picked up A-A and sent an already short-stacked Raymer to the rails.
He picked up his second autographed fossil from the Fossil Man, he also busted Raymer in Monte Carlo earlier this year. After that, innerpsycho just went from strength to strength and ended his day among the top 10% of the field.
Meanwhile,
ScHnibL0r had a roller coaster day that saw his stack going up to over 70,000 at one point and then going down to below 15,000 before settling at the 23,000 mark at the end.
RobbieV started the day strongly and soon up to over 50,000 chips within the first couple of hours. Unfortunately, he lost a huge 200 big blind pot right before the dinner break and in the end finished below the starting stack of 30,000.
Last two side event bracelets awarded
The final two bracelets outside the Main Event were awarded today after the players returned to play out the final tables. Marcel Vonk was the winner of the $1,000 No Limit Hold'em bracelet and picked up $570,960 for his efforts. The $2,500 No Limit Hold'em bracelet meanwhile was awarded to Tomer Berda along with the winner's purse of $825,976.
