Both Phil Ivey and Darvin Moon endured Day 1 of the 2010 WSOP Main Event. Moon, the everyman hero and runner-up in last year’s Main Event, had a pretty good Day 1, finishing at 78,400 chips. Last year’s champ, Joe Cada, also made more Fulltilt Poker Referral Code than double his starting chip stack, finishing with 67,150.
Notwithstanding ending up close to his starting stack, Ivey’s day was full of ups and downs. A few small losses ate away at his stack, plus one hand where he had his opponent all-in, while holding Q9h, with an Ax-Jh-10h flop. His Full Tilt Bonus rival turned over Ah-8x for top pair, but giving Ivey lots of outs. The turn and river came Jd-3d, and Phil was hammered down to 24,000 chips. He spent the remaining of his Day 1 slowly climbing back towards 30k.
