The first to go was Malaysian business tycoon Richard Yong, followed a few hours later by MGM Mirage executive and World Series of Poker Hall of Famer Bobby Baldwin.  Brian Rast was eliminated within an hour of Baldwin.

Three of the four biggest long shots were out.  All eyes remained on poker phenom Phil Hellmuth, who currently holds the record for most WSOP bracelets at 12.

The $1 million buy-in will reward the biggest cash prize ever in the history of live poker tournaments, $18.3 million and some change.  Everyone gets at least a million dollars and some change, in this case a few hundred thousand.

Even better are 4th place through 1st place.

1st

$18,346,673

2nd

$10,112,001

3rd

$4,352,000

4th

$2,645,333
