The main match and final of the two thousand and eight WSOP has started with Mark Garner heading up the pack with 205,100 chips.

There were over 1,300 pokers players who entered the tournament when it kicked off but now it has been halved which to be honest happened on Friday.

Garner entered the match last year ad came a disappointing 25th but he has set the pace this year when he had a very late run late in the night.

Brandon Adams is the closest to him with 170,000.

There were over 50 celebrities who entered but all of them crashed out nice and early.

But, Ray Romano the non funny sitcom jester has come through to the second day of play with a average 60,000 chips.

He Commented: “I played tight as all hell and I got a couple of hands and I made a little bit of money, but I could have made more money. I fell asleep reading Doyle Brunson’s book last night.” A non funny spat as usual.

The biggest and best main event was won twice by Brunson 76 & 77, a tremendous effort which was copied by Johnny Chan & Johnny Moss but the only guy who has gone to the magic number 3 is, Stu Ungar.
