Day 1a of the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas was a rousing success with 615 entrants, which included many of poker's biggest stars such as Justin Bonomo, who bagged a monster stack.
The $10,400 buy in tournament has a guaranteed $15 million prize pool, a live poker record. But after the first session, it appears you can go ahead and toss that guarantee in the trash because the pot will likely be much larger.
There are still two more Day 1 starting flights — Tuesday and Wednesday.
