By late afternoon Tuesday a number of big name poker players said "farewell" to the 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
Who were they?
Barry Greenstein, Erica Schoenberg, Annie Duke, Dave "van der Sloot" Sands, Barry Shulman and Matt Savage.
And something interesting occurred late Tuesday as Matt Affleck became the new chip leader one year and two days after he became the chip leader during the 2009 World Series of Poker. He did not make the final table last year but did manage to cash out in 80th place with nearly $60,000.
Denmark's Theo Jorgensen had also cracked the top 10 leaderboard. Jorgensen has won nearly $2.2 million in career live tournaments.
Meanwhile, the Johnny Chan watch continues as he stayed within the top 15 chip leaders. Chan is the second biggest WSOP bracelet winner of all time.
