The Entities That Comprise Wicked Chops Enterprises LLC Will Be Reporting on the Rest of the 2006 WSOP From a Bomb Shelter at an Undisclosed Location / Recapping Day 1D

Robert Varkonyi has survived the first day of the 2006 World Series of Poker.

As one of the chip leaders.

The end is near.

The bible wrote about this shit, people. Turmoil in the Middle East. Increased severe weather and natural disasters. Robert Varkonyi a chip leader at another WSOP. It's right there. [written in pen strangely resembling our handwriting] On page 1,941.

Varkonyi, who knocked out fan fave and respected tournament pro Marcel Luske by hitting a straight on the river, and who also might've had swamp butt as he kept standing up and tugging his jeans from his ass (not kidding), is stacked at 70,000. Robert Varkonyi. 70,000. These are scary times.

Elsewhere, proving that he is the model of consistency, Chris Moneymaker failed to cash in yet another tournament. He busted out before the end of the day.

Our Monday Sweat, Tracy Becker, survived a rollercoaster day and will head into Day 2 with 17,400.

While likely not the chip leader when everyone is accounted for, Card Player has Peter Tran listed as the big stack right now at 142,000. Other notable big stacks include (consider these "unofficial" until more info is released): Darren Dicken 110,000, Joe Hachem 86,500, Robert Varkonyi (just in case you missed it) 70,000, Peter Feldman 61,000, Jeff Cabanillas 59,000, Ted Forrest 58,500, Freddy Deeb 57,000, Barney Boatman 55,500, Russ Salzer 44,000, Kathy Liebert 35,000, and Huck Seed 29,000. Get the full list from our good friends at Card Player.

Day 2A begins today at noon.
