The World Poker Tour event in Turks and Caicos had an interesting start, well actually it didn’t start for all players who were suppose to be playing on Day 1A. The organizers realized they had much more space and tables to work with at Club Med Casino. So everyone player started playing today. Something tells us there wasn’t many complaints considering players get an extra day to chill out on the beach and order girly slushy drinks.

It was originally estimated that about 170 players would turn out for Day 1, however, there was under 125 players who bought into the $7,700 event. This has created a few problems for the WPT guys, the event had a guaranteed prize pool of $1 million. According to the WPT website, “The official prizepool information won’t be released for quite some time, but as soon as we have word, we’ll let you know.” and “With the total prizepool yet to reach that [170] number, there might be some changes to even out the prize money distribution a bit.”

There are many big name TV players playing in this event. Currently Mark Seif is leading the way with a 91,225 chip stack, which is 11,000 more then Maros Lechman, who is in second place. Other known faces in the event is Michael Mizrachi (4th), Gavin Smith (8th), Evelyn Ng (9th), Haralabos Voulgaris (17th) and Mike Matusow is kicking it in 34th.
