The first day ended 14 hours later with only 14 players gone. Andy Bloch first stood up and received a penalty after going through a deck for marked cards that he saw at his table. The only difference is that anyone can enter the World Poker Tour, unlike reality programmes where a panel decides on the contestants. It could be an 80-year-old woman like Kuei "Mama" Chang busting out heavyweights like Michael Mizrachi or a young man named Jeff Madsen who won his first WSOP bracelet at the age of 21 years, one month, and nine days. The 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event Day 1C results were better than Day 1A or Day 1B. There are many key aspects to consider before you can hope to have any real success. Phil now holds the record for the most WSOP gold bracelets (11 of them) and number of cashes (63 in total so far at time of this writing) than any player on the face of the earth.

Day 2 action took off on a fast start with one player busting out on his very first hand. One thing Harrah's has done differently is that the payout schedule was modified to allow those who make the money but do not make the final table, to make more than they did in 2006. In one hand, both players had pocket Aces, but when four more heart cards hit the felt one player came out victorious! Another one for the books took place when Darren Locke had pocket Aces, and after a flop of 8d 7c 2d two other players went all-in with $17,500 each. Outside of that, like two samurai warriors Andy Bloch and Chip Reese cleared the table. In all, the 2007 WSOP generated a total prize pool of $159,796,918, with $59,796,918 of that just for the Main Event itself. During a level featuring the game Omaha 8/OB, Ram Vaswani and Brett Jungblut had to split a pot when both drew the nut full house Aces full of Kings with no possible low. The tournament round ended at 4:00 a.m which made for a long 16 hour day with 450 players that will move on to Day 2A. Everyone laughed at the idea, except Harrah's who declined the chimp's entry into the tournament.
