| WSOP 2009 Event #4
Event #4 of the 2009 WSOP was billed as the "Stimulus Special". The $1,000 buyin apparently made a WSOP bracelet within reach for many lower stakes players.
Harrah's declared this event sold out with 6,012 entrants.
Generating a $5,410,800 prize pool.
This event required a day 1a and a day 1b to accommodate the huge field.
621 places make it to the money, and being such a large field two players busted out on the same hand!
Jeff Greco and Petr Kadavy had to split the place 621 money. $1,894. Giving each $947. So each loses $53 on their $1,000 buyin.
With this tornament just now making it into the money, the remaining players are in for a long night as the WSOP tournament directors try to get the field as close to a final table as they possibly can.
Amazingly, J. C. Tran is leading the field with 172,000 chips after an extraordinary day 1b that say him stop the day at 120,000 chips.
