Día 1 completado
The popular and fun shootout format took center stage in Event #4: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout. Under the shootout rules, players draw seats into single-table sit-n-gos, which play down a winner who advances to the next sit-n-go. The tournament drew 308 players who populated 40 tables, and the first round was completed on Thursday, advancing winning players to the money.
Nosebleed cash-game star Doug Polk advanced along with Loni Harwood, actor James Woods, David Peters, Jake Balsiger, Carlos Mortensen, Sam Greenwood, Jason Somerville, and Joe Cada. They've all guaranteed themselves payouts of $6,180.
Justin Bonomo, Tom Marchese, Phil Laak, Ryan Riess, Jonathan Duhamel, and David Benefield were just some of the star players to find themselves eliminated on Day 1.
Action should be fast and furious on Day 2 as each table plays out four-handed, with the winners of each table advancing to the final table of 10 and in contention for $201,812.
