Well, it sounds like there was a bit more carnage into the evening. Daniel Negreanu is out, Mike Sexton is out, Scotty Nguyen is out, and an allegely drunk Layne Flack is also out. After seeing that display of Flack's at the first WPT invitational it's not hard to believe, he was pretty hammered there.
Someone else who was apparently drunk last night was Mike Laing, who was cut off according to Pokervoice. But, he finished the day as the chip leader with about 130K in chips, according to the chip count at Pokerpages.
Some people to watch when this group resumes play on Monday are John "World" Hennigan with 74k, David Singer with 57k, Devilfish with 56k, and Ron Rose with 54k. There are plenty of others as well, Erik Seidel is at 34k, and Phil Hellmuth is at 33k after some early tilt problems. My single favorite to win is still Barry Greenstein who is at 23k. Howard Lederer has 13k.
I think I was wrong about James Woods, it sounds like he plays in the second group today, but Laura Prepon of That '70s Show did last longer than Negreanu, Men, Scotty, and Flack. Who would have taken those last longer votes? :) She finished as a very short stack with 2,825.
The second group plays today, Phil Ivey and Annie Duke are in there among many others.
