Thorson fought through a tough field that saw the eliminations of Barny Boatman, Rasmus Nielsen, Roberto Romanello, and Ivan Demidov. He grew his 10,000 starting stack to 84,500.The second Day 1 is predicted to have a star-studded line-up including Dario Minieri, Bertrand Grospellier, Marcel Luske, and 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Peter Eastgate. Last year in this event, Mike “Timex” McDonald took down the first-place prize after defeating 411 players – it is predicted that this year’s field will exceed that.
