The Champ is Here!

[user80015]

Nível 1 : 50/100, 75 ante

Daniel Idema just took his seat in the purple section.

Idema only has one cash this WSOP, but there is probably some comfort returning as the Champion, and Idema will hope to parlay that confidence into not just a second cash, but potentially a final table and a back-to-back repeat.

Numbers Ticking Up

[user80015]

Nível 1 : 50/100, 75 ante

We are just about to tick into level two and there are 443 entrants already in the tournament.

We are still roughly 115 players away from topping last year's mark, and with five more levels remaining before registration closes (approximately 10:45 p.m. PST), the 558-player mark will get a good push.
