At the table he's quite calm, but on twitter he's battling it out with anyone and everyone. Just yesterday he got into an argument with an older gentleman who claimed he was overrated. Phahurat, who's a High Stakes cash game player torturing himself in Tournaments chasing Glory, according to his twitter profile, is looking for his first bracelet this summer but in the meantime he coined the 'braceletpunting' hashtag to keep things entertaining. Give him a follow if you're bored with all the standerd twitter updates by poker pro's sharing their bust-out hands and coinflip situations. Phuhurat plays about 3,400.
These players are nowhere to be found anymore. We have no bust-out hands unfortunately, although this hand tweeted by Anthony Spinella might explain why Scott Seiver isn't around anymore:
After a record field in the "Millionaire Maker" yesterday, today's $1,000 buy-in event did not disappoint when a respectable 1,837 players started the day. After 11 levels of play, Eric Baldwin appears to have the largest stack in the room and is sitting pretty with 121,000 in chips. Some of the other top stacks in the room include: Adam Geyer (118,200), Annette Obrestad (98,000) and Nick Abourisk (87,000).
Play started at noon today with quite a few notable names including Antonio Esfandiari, Men Nguyen, Matt Glantz, Joe Serock, Brian Rast, David Williams, Tony Dunst and Paul Wasicka to name a few. Wasika (65,400), however, is the only one from this group to survive the day.
The consensus among the players is that the room was friendly which was reiterated by this tweet by Shane Schleger:
Friendly or not, 1,689 players were eliminated leaving 148 to come back for day 2. They will be fighting it out for the $305,952 first-place prize and the coveted WSOP bracelet. Play will resume tomorrow at 1 p.m.
