Event 1: 1st Place - Lydon

$400 + $50 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Mike Lydon sent the last WSOP-bracelet-holder-sitting, Arkadiy Tsinis, home shortly before the dinner break and in the process, claimed the chip lead.

Mike held on to that chip lead and used his big stack to crush the competition.  He busted five of his nine opponents at the final table, never relinquishing the lead.
