Yesterday was an off day from the 2008 WSOP Main Event. So let's clean up a few loose ends going into Day 2A play.

:: Net Prize Pool - $64,333,600
:: First Place Prize - $9,119,517
:: Total Spots Paid Out - 666 (could they not just pay out 667 or 665??? would that have been such a difficult call?)

It's a joke...we don't care at all.

And why should they change the number of paid spots? Is it because the Boogie Man is going to get them if they don't? I'd wager that they purposely chose that number.
