This taped over the past few days, already a lot of rumours and stuff have emerged about what happened. If your the sort of person that hates to know the end of a movie before you go to watch it then dont read on!
Supposedly :
Day 1/2 this year had the standard 100k buy in. However in an awesome move by the show the final Day 3 had a 500K MIN buy in
. This is just sick. Ive never seen a texas hold em game run this big ever before, live or online. Hellmuth is back playing (and apparently loses - although this was probaby pretty likely
) as well as negranaue, laak, esfandiari, jamie gold and some others. Sbrugby (brian townsend) was declined a seat by the producers however. They have told him he can play on HSP 5 apparently. So for an "online pro" presence they invited OMGCLAYAIKEN (phil galfrond, gbucks article) who has written a good account of his experience here

Jamie gold apparently lost over 550k during the filming with two as yet unknowns winning over 600k
