2015 World Series of Poker

With the Colossus winding as nearly everyone has been eliminated, one might expect the massive influx of players to have mostly left the Las Vegas area. If the numbers for Event #9: $1,500 Razz are any judge, perhaps the eliminated Colossus runners are all secretly razz junkies. The tournament drew a 462-player field, blowing away last year's number of 352 runners, and Alexander Kuzmin had the most successful opening round as he finished with 56,500.

Jason Schwartz (55,400), Andre Akkari (52,200), David "ODB" Baker (52,000), and Eddie Blumenthal (51,000) round out the top five. Other players among the 169 survivors included PokerNews' own Mickey Doft (41,000), Tom Koral (37,800), Mark Herm (33,000), James Woods (32,800), John Hennigan (30,100), Jimmy Fricke (25,000), Bryan Campanello (19,300), and Daniel Negreanu (12,600).

Woods, a famed Hollywood actor, has gotten off to a hot start in the 2015 WSOP and seeks his third cash and second final table.

Negreanu, meanwhile, just recently arrived at the WSOP and is looking to hit his stride with an early cash despite nursing one of the shorter stacks. Negreanu was able to knock out a short-stacked David Bach late. He'll seek to get things trending in the right direction when play resumes at 2 p.m. on Tuesday.

In honor of Doft doing so well on Day 1, we'll leave you with a the famous "Mickey Doft vs. The Stack" video from the 2012 WSOP:

Remko, Jason, and Donnie award a swag bag to a fan, discuss the Colossus payout debacle, and brainstorm new tournament ideas to replace pot-limit hold'em. Donnie also has a special gift for Jason, which spawns an idea for a new sponsor.
