Official number will be available soon … but we’re looking at close to 3,000 for today (including @TheBigRandy and @RobertGoldfarb).

Final numbers for the 2009 main event coming soon …

Via @taopauly:

Several big names shut out: Brandon Adams, TJ CLoutier, Patrik Antonius & Sully Erna

    That looks like Captain Tom in the green.

    This may not be over (1:25PM) suits are huddling.

    But I think the players are just too clueless. I mean pay attention, it’s not like no one is covering the tournament and warning you that Day 1D could sell out.

    Why do players wait until the last minute anyway? You can buy in anytime you want and choose your day. (OK, TJ I can understand – he hadn’t found a backer yet.)

    Why do poker players wait?

    They are poker players.

    The other thing….

    Is to me…. why is it always…
    on the 4th….

    Seems the best starting day
    would be after the
    4th….

    Some poker players do have families..

    You could play on the 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th and you could have registered up to twelve months in advance and it is the World Series of Poker not the U.S. Series of Poker. The Brits, Canadians and all others don’t give a rat’s ass about the 4th.

    Well….

    Apparently it mattered…
    and played a significant role in
    this one…
