Dia Uno's Terminado en WPT Spanish Campeonato

The WPT goes south of the border this week to Spain for their first ever WPT Spanish Championship.

Wait. Mexico is south of the border with the ugly chicks and bad drugs. Spain is the one with all the hot chicks (like Ariadne Artiles, at right) and good drugs. Ah dammit. We would've totally gone if we had realized that earlier.

Anyway, both Day 1's have wrapped. The ovearall chip leader is Maurizio Carra at 59,975. He's followed by Carl Hostrup (55,750) and Guillaume De la Gorce (50,450).

Some notable big stacks making it into Day 2 include: Fabrice Soulier (45,750), Max Pescatori (44,400), Erik Friberg (40,075), Gus Hansen (30,500), Ozzy Sheikh (30,000), Steve Billirakis (27,875), Annette Obrestad, a woman (24,600), John Juanda (21,675), Allen Cunningham (20,625), and Erik Seidel (20,250).
