To show what a joke the Day 2 entry thing has become, reentry is still open with just 18 players left in the $10k Short Deck event.

It's a wrap for Day 1 of the first ever $10,000 Short Deck No-Limit Hold'em event at the World Series of Poker. A total of 61 entry slips were sold today, but only 18 competitors bagged chips at the conclusion of Day 1. With late registration still being open till the start of Level 11 on Day 2 (around 5:15 p.m), these numbers are not final.

Wow.

This really needs to stop. They've sped up the structures for Day 1 of these $10ks in order to give more play on subsequent days. That's fine, except they can't allow late registration through Day 2 if they're going to do this.

The WSOP also should start offering $1500 Short Deck events, in order to introduce more people to the game.
