Ok, The Official Day 1A Number Is Up, Barely, From Last Year
Harrah's has just released the official number for Day 1A of the 2008 WSOP. It's 1,297. That's down from the 1,400 we estimated earlier, but up from the 1,287 from last year's Day 1A. By 10.
Now we're no math majors, but if you multiply that number by four, which is the total number of Day 1's, you get 5,188. While we presume that today will be the lowest of the Day 1's, this isn't a good sign. Most people were predicting 8,000 or more for this year. Day 1B, 1C, and 1D better fucking get working and register some damn people.
While that all kind of sucks, what didn't suck was the Doyle's Room/Bluff Magazine party at Sapphire last night. And what really, really didn't suck was seeing the hottest girl in poker, Lacey Jones, chat it up with Andrea Tiede and Christina Lindley.
