Der erste Tag der WPT $10.400 Five Diamond im Bellagio spülte rekordverdächtige 697 Entries an die Tische. Damit ist es der bisher bestbesuchte Tag 1 des Las Vegas WPT-Klassikers. In der WPT Saison XVI erzielte das renommierte Turnier seinen bisherigen Höchstwert mit 812 Entries. Dieser Rekord könnte heute fallen, denn die Late Registration ist noch für einige Zwei geöffnet. Von den Startern schafften 417 Akteure den Sprung in Tag 2.
In Führung liegt der Serbe Milos Skrbic, der als Einziger die 200.000-Marke an Chips übertreffen konnte. Dem Serben auf den Fersen sind in Person von Igor Yaroshevskyy und Ex-Weltmeister Martin Jacobson keinen Unbekannten. Einen gute Stack für Tag 2 bauten zudem Joe McKeehen, Dan Shak, Alexander Foxen und Jonathan Jaffe auf. Als bester deutscher Kartencrack liegt Christoph Vogelsang im Rennen aber nicht unweit von ihm in den Chipcounts folgen Rainer Kempe, Koray Aldemir und Manig Löser.
Alle erfolgreichen Tag 1-Spieler wurden von den Organisatoren nicht aufgelistet. Lediglich die Chips einiger ausgewählter Spieler wurden von Seiten der WPT bis dato veröffentlicht.
