All 4 Day Ones are complete, and some interesting statistics have been released. 6844 players have entered the tournament, and over half (3663) of those player managed to survive Day One. One table was so desperate to make it to Day Two, that they managed to make one hand last 10 minutes... and they never even saw a flop. There was only 30 minutes left in the day, but one player at the table was so infuriated with the slow play, he called a tournament organizer over to make a ruling. From that point until the end of the day, the dealer was instructed to give each player at that table no more than 30 seconds to make any decision.With a total prize pool of more than $68,000,000, the winner receives $9,119,517. To prove that you do have to go through Hell to and back to win this tournament, the top 666 players make it in the money. Due to the massive size of the tournament, a lot of information is still unavailable, but once both Day Two's are over, the tournament should be at a more manageable size. Tournament organizers expect to have under 1500 players remaining on Day Three.
