ready for day 2a
First some numbers:
6,358 players entered the 2007 WSOP Main Event, creating a prizepool of $59,784,954. 621 places will be paid, and each player who cashes will be guaranteed at least $20,320. First place will win $8,250,000.
2,415 fewer players entered the Main Event in 2007 than in 2006, but this year's number is 739 higher than when Joe Hachem won it all in 2005.
I just got back from a great relaxing day filled with fun, fish and wakeboarding on Lake Mead. My friend Tom Robinson has lived in Vegas for 20 years and one of his businesses has been entertainment boating on the lake so today I joined Lars Bonding, Christian "Tox" Togsverd and Claus Cato - and Tom of course.
First thing I did whe we arrived at the marina was drop my favorite $200 BMW sunglasses in the water!! I was so baffled over the hundreds of humongous carps fighting for the pop corn Lars was feeding them with that the glasses slid out of my shirt into the water before I could catch them, damn! Now I will have to find another set of (good!) glasses before tomorrow's action.
The temperature of the water was perfect, we hung out and swam, the three of them had a blast on both the wake board and the bouncing pillow Tom would drag after the boat, challenging the riders of this water rodeo.
For lunch we stopped as close to the Hoover Dam as we could get. You used to be able to get a lot closer, but since 9/11 the safety precautions have increased and I do admit it would be a devastating disaster to have a suicide bomber in a speedboat attack the dam, no matter how huge and solid it is.
Notice the color differences in the layers of the surrounding rock? That is how much the water level of the lake has decreased over the last decade or so. Las Vegas drinking water and irrigation, plus consumers in parts of California are basically sucking the Colorado River dry. It is only a question of time before the lake will dry out, unless it starts snowing 10 times more in the Rockies than the level of the past many million years.
Tomorrow Tuesday is my big day at day 2a - wish me luck and incredible insight!

Henrik, I know you can improve you stack on day 2. Just hang in there and play "catenacio" waiting for the starting/winning hands. Good Luck
