Day 1A The tournament began at 12:00 noon for the approximately 360 players making up the field for Day 1A, at the Atlantis Casino in the Bahamas. They are part of the group that will compete for the first prize of over $1.25 million dollars. The prize pool and payouts have not been announced yet but we will post them once they are available. Some of the names at the tables are David Williams, Amir Vahedi, Erik Seidel, Al Ardebili, Jean Robert Bellande, Hoyt Corkins, John Esposito, Maureen Feduniak, Abraham Gray, Isabelle Mercier and Aaron Kanter.

Two and a half hours into the tournament Daniel Negreanu, Robert Mizrachi, Alex Brenes and Liz Lieu busted out of the tournament. Chris Moneymaker also ended up leaving after a flopped open-ended straight did not hold up. (But they were first in line for sun, drinks and all the lobster they could eat courtesy of PokerStars.) Players who did well were Phil Ivey doubling up at times and rolling through players like a freight train and Patrik Antonius also did well competiting in big hands with Mike Matusow. But it was the online unknowns who mostly made up the top players with their chips. You can see photos of the action by going to the PokerStars.com site and clicking on the Official Blog link under "News and Events". Here is how the top 6 did on Day 1A:

1. Brian Mogelefsky 98,500 Chips
2. Guiseppe Zappia 78,200 Chips
3. Patrik Antonius 76,100 Chips
4. Dafydd Elias 74,500 Chips

Day 1B With flight B on the ground, another 324 players are beginning their bid for money and fame. A total of 724 players entered this tournament helping to create a $5,647,200. And first prize will be over $1.25 million for a lucky winner.

Today saw notable play from names like Marco Traniello, Tiffany Williamson of 2005 WSOP Main Event fame, Jennifer Harman, Chad Layne and Tom McEvoy who fought hard to stay in the game, tripling up his chip stack at one point. Unfortunately Greg Raymer, Wil Wheaton, Joe Cassidy and Bill Gazes were among those who left the tournament today for the beach. At the end of the day 325 players will move on to Day 2.

The final table is made up of an eclectic mix of players. David Singer is probably the most well known pro of the names given. Steve Paul-Ambrose is 22 years old, Brook Lyter is 34 years old and qualified in a $33 re-buy tournament on PokerStars, Michael Higgins is 18 years old from Ohio State University. Anders Henrikkson is 24 and earned his way through a PokerStars double shootout tournament. Last is another 18 year old from Staten Island, New York who's name is Aurangzeb Sheikh. The final table will be played on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. on the Dragon Deck of the Atlantis Resort and Casino. Here are the names of the players:

1. David Singer -- 2,535,000 Chips
2. Steve Paul-Ambrose -- 1,780,000 Chips
3. Anders Henrikkson -- 1,033,000 Chips
4. Brook Lyter -- 875,000 Chips
5. Michael Higgins -- 794,000 Chips
6. Aurangzeb Sheikh -- 231,000 Chips

Day 4 Final Table The final table got underway closer to 11 am instead of 10, but when it did the action wasted no time in happening. Aurangzeb Sheikh who was on the short stack went all in, got called and was eliminated on the first hand. Aurangzeb's pocket A's did not hold up to Steve Paul-Ambrose's pocket 7's when another 7 came on the flop giving Steve trips and the winning hand. (And yes, it will be seen on the Travel Channel when broadcasted.) Next to leave was Anders Henrikkson (KQ) when he called an all-in from Brook Lyter (AA). The flop showed Q62, turn was 6h, river was 9 which was bad news for Anders. Michael was next to take on Brook Lyter, lost and went home in fourth place. Play went back and forth until 2 1/2 hours later, David Singer (KK) likes his hand and went all-in with Steve Paul-Ambrose (AQ) who called him. Flop produced Q J 4, turn was an A, river was a Q giving Steve a full house which left David Singer in 3rd place.

It's now down to Steve and Brook for the heads up finale. The last tournament hand went like this, after the flop of J 9 2, Brook (KJ) decides to go all in and is called by Steve (QT). Turn card was a Q and the river card a K giving Steve Paul-Ambrose the straight and the win on top of becoming an instant millionaire! Here are the final table results:

1. Steve Paul-Ambrose -- $1,363,100
2. Brook Lyter -- $681,500
3. David Singer -- $436,200
4. Michael Higgins -- $327,100
5. Anders Henrikkson -- $239,900
6. Aurangzeb Sheikh -- $177,200
