Event 1: Prize Update
To update an earlier PokerNews report, we've learned that it was actually actor James Woods who was awarded the $1,000 prize for the second-biggest stack for Day 1B, not Johnny Lam, as originally reported. Woods spent the whole flight playing at a table outside the main tournament area.
According to a player we talked to, Woods tripled up early on before winning a massive pot against a fellow chip leader when both players had boats. He said Woods did indeed bag over 400,000, as reflected in the MyStack updates.
