Joey ended the day with exactly one million. I think Phil ended around 5.5m. 64 left. Average is 3 million.
I guess they're bagging up the chips now. He's wrong on Ivey's count unless Ivey lost a few 100,000 chips in the final couple of hands.

Are they delaying the final table til November again this year or was that just a one-time deal?

That sucks for the 9 players at the FT as far as momentum, but they must get a TON of sponsor money between now and November.

I'm serious. If I knew I was guaranteed at least 1 million, and all I needed to do was stay alive and show up to sit at a table 5 months from now, I really can't explain the depths to which this party would go.

Another online superstar is in the hunt:
Nick Maimone has 4.9 million and is top 10 in chips.
He plays online as FU_15

Meet and Greet
While we were waiting for all of the players to fill out their bio sheets for ESPN before the start of play, several of the players were milling around and chatting with each other. Joe Sebok and Dennis Phillips had a lengthy conversation by the rail. They were eventually joined by Phil Ivey.
Ivey was dressed in a button-down shirt that was trailing out from under an ver-sized PokerRoad sweatshirt. Sebok and Amanda Leatherman decided it wasn't a good look and Sebok went to retrieve a PokerRoad patch from his bag while Leatherman instructed Ivey to lose the sweatshirt. They got Ivey situated and sent him on his way.
"I'm not his mother," joked Sebok.
"It feels that way sometimes," Leatherman agreed.
Phillips, meanwhile, trailed after Ivey and asked Ivey to sign the red St. Louis Cardinals cap that Phillips was wearing, which already had several signatures on it. "I'm going to auction it off for charity," Phillips told Ivey. Ivey graciously agreed to sign the hat for Phillips.

Prahlad Friedman Eliminated in 64th Place ($90,344)
Prahlad Friedman moved all in for 840,000 from the cutoff and Bradley Craig snap-called from the big blind, standing up from his chair and tabling AdKc. Friedman showed KhQc, his hand dominated.
Friedman could not improve on the 9d-7h-2d-8d-9s board and he hit the rail in 64th place.

Ivey Makes a Hero Call
Phil Ivey opened for 135,000 from late position and Christopher Bach called from the big blind. Both players checked the 9c-3s-3h flop. The turn came the 9d and Bach bet 150,000. Ivey made the call. The river was the 7s and Bach fired a second barrel for 360,000. Ivey looked him up.
Bach had nothing more than Qh10h. Ivey's AsQc was good and he raked in the pot. He's now up to 7.1 million while Bach fell to 2.2 million.

Some bad luck for Phillips
quote:
Tough Break for Phillips
A confusing hand on Blue 6 has resulted in some genuinely bad luck for Dennis Phillips. After two players folded, Phillips limped into the pot. It was then that the players noticed that the first two players had acted out of turn, mistakenly assuming that the big blind was in the 9-seat rather than the 8-seat. The action was backed up to allow the 9-seat to fold. Phillips' limp then also stood.
Action proceeded past Phillips with folds all the way to Jeff Duvall, who raised his button to 150,000. That raise folded both blinds. Duvall, not realizing that Phillips had limped into the pot, then mucked his hand with action still pending on Phillips.
Phillips couldn't believe his bad luck. Why bad luck, you ask? Only because he had been dealt {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}! He opened his hand and insisted that he be awarded the whole pot, including the 150,000 raise made by Duvall.
The tournament had to be put on a five-minute pause to summon tournament director Jack Effel (who was out of the room) so that Effel could make a decision whether Duvall should have to forefeit all 150,000 chips or only the 50,000 that matched Phillips' original call. After Effel arrived and listened to a report of the action, he told Duvall that, by TDA Rules, if a dealer had killed Duvall's inadvertently, Duvall would be entitled to 100,000 chips back. But because Duvall had mucked his own hand, he had to forefeit all the chips in the pot if Phillips wanted to call. Phillips obviously did.
